[Seaside] Component vs Application Confusion

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

Brad,

you only register a WAApplication for each "entry point" or url that 
will be accessed. In that Application you declare the initial component 
to be rendered whenever somebody visits this url. Everything else is 
simple call:/answer: or show: between components and/or tasks. In many 
or maybe even most cases you really just register one Application and 
have quiet a few components.  Components that get called don't need to 
be registered anywhere.

If you want to provide a set of "files", like CSS, or JS, you also 
register one or more WAFileLibraries with your Application. Whatever 
this FileLibrary provieds will be added to each and every page in your 
Application.

Does that help?

What documentation have you looked at so far?

Joachim
