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

See the Developers Guide ActionLink and DirectLink listeners for a more complete description.

Parameters
Name Type Direction Required Default Description
listener IActionListener in yes   Specifies an object that is notified when the link is clicked, which is typically a listener method of its container (for example, listeners.method).
disabled boolean in no false Controls whether the link is produced. If disabled, the portion of the template the link surrounds is still rendered, but not the link itself.
stateful boolean in no true If true (the default), then the component requires an active (i.e., non-new) HttpSession when triggered. Failing that, it throws a StaleLinkException. If false, then no check is necessary. The latter works well with links that encode all necessary state inside the URL itself.
anchor String in no   The name of an anchor or element to link to. The final URL will have '#' and the anchor appended to it.
renderer ILinkRenderer in no   The object which will actually render the link.

Body: rendered
Informal parameters: allowed
Reserved parameters: "href"
