22 | * Renders the text and components wrapped by a {@link Block}component. [ <a | |
23 | * href="../../../../../ComponentReference/RenderBlock.html">Component Reference </a>] | |
24 | * <p> | |
25 | * It is possible for an RenderBlock to obtain a Block from a page <em>other than</em> the render | |
26 | * page. This works, even when the Block contains links, forms and form components. The action and | |
27 | * direct services will create URLs that properly address this situation. | |
28 | * <p> | |
29 | * However, because the rendering page can't know ahead of time about these foreign Blocks, | |
30 | * {@link org.apache.tapestry.event.PageBeginRenderListener} and | |
31 | * {@link org.apache.tapestry.event.PageEndRenderListener} methods (for components and objects of the | |
32 | * foreign page) via RenderBlock will <em>not</em> be executed. This specifically affects the | |
33 | * methods of the {@link org.apache.tapestry.event.PageBeginRenderListener} and | |
34 | * {@link org.apache.tapestry.event.PageEndRenderListener} interfaces. | |
35 | * <p> | |
36 | * Before rendering its {@link Block}, RenderBlock will set itself as the Block's inserter, and | |
37 | * will reset the inserter after the {@link Block}is rendered. This gives the components contained | |
38 | * in the {@link Block}access to its inserted environment via the RenderBlock. In particular this | |
39 | * allows the contained components to access the informal parameters of the RenderBlock which | |
40 | * effectively allows parameters to be passed to the components contained in a Block. | |
