Illustrating Tapestry

In the last two illustrations we have seen that Pages are composed by aggregating other JWCs. We have also seen that there are two different ways of declaring a component - Explicit and Implicit declaration. An explicitly delcared component in Tapestry can be configured partly in the template and partly in the specification. This allows UI specific parameters to be configured in the template and content related parameters to be configured in the specification. Also, a component can declare some components explicitly in the specifiction and other components implicitly in the template. This allows simpler light-weight components to be declared in the template while other highly configurable components to be declared in the specification thus avoiding the clutter in the templates. Here, we will mix and match these approaches for a more pragmatic illustration.
