Major Description
In order to display a relatively big text file from a database its entire content has to be stored in a String before it can be passed to the InsertText component. This is a waste of time and memory.
To solve this problem the InsertText component should accept a java.io.Reader in addition to a String. Then all the user has to do is create an InputStreamReader and pass it to the component directly.
I have applied a patch for Tapestry 3.0.1. It changes to type of the parameter value from String to Object and performs a runtime test to see if it is a String or a Reader. Of course an additional parameter could be used if this is not desired.
