The Tapestry framework provides a large set of pre-written components to use as a starting point for building applications, or more complicated components.

This section will provide a brief overview of the available components and their most commonly used parameters. The Javadoc is the final reference for this information.

Each of these components is automatically added as an alias in an application specification.

Action

Creates an <a> hyperlink in the HTML response. If the link is triggered, then the Action retrieves its listener, and invokes actionTriggered() on it.

Parameters

listener

The object notified if and when the link is triggered.

disabled

Controls whether the link is produced. If true, the link is not created (but wrapped elements are still rendered).
