OnActionFromStart(Tapestry)

Question

I'm using this following java and tml code

java

    private void onActionFromStart(int id)
    {
       // here im getting url for the particular overlay when onclick 
    }

In tml

    <t:loop t:source="videos" t:value="pojo">

        <t:actionlink t:id="start" t:context="${pojo.id}" rel="#overlay1">
           // here image tag 
        </t:actionlink>
    </t:loop>

my problem is when i click on the image it get overlayed but onActionFromStart is not triggered how to solve this problem

Answer 1

Action handlers need to have default or public modifiers for Tapestry to be able to find them:

void onActionFromStart(int id) {
    ...
}

Also take a look at the Component Events section of the docs.

Answer 2

Make sure you reload the server and refresh the page.

Action handlers should not be private.

Try:

public void onActionFromStart(int id) { ... }

Or, using tapestry's anotations

    @OnEvent(value = EventConstants.ACTION, component = "start")
    public void start(int id){
    ...
    }
