binding map in tapestry 5

Question

in my action class i want to have a map of strings. and in my tml i want to access this map with textfield. something like

<t:form>
    <t:textfield value="myMap['key1']"/>
    <t:textfield value="myMap['key2']"/>
...

i don't insist on syntax, but is there anything like this currently in tapestry? if not, what do i need to create such conversion in the most easy way? type coercing? custom components? i'm starting to learn tapestry so feel free to be verbose :)

Answer 1

Another option is to bind your own tml prefix. There is an example of binding prefixes here.

We wrote our own prefix for map which allows us to get the value in the tml like this:

${map:myMap.key1}
