Erik, Thanks for your help. I got it to work now via the custom Engine now. The approach wasn't working earlier because of my configuration in the .application.
I used this in the .application: <property name="org.apache.tapestry.engine-class" value="com.icg.AppEngine"/> However, this doesn't work. After I put the engine-class here: <application name="ICG_US" engine-class="com.icg.AppEngine"> Then everything is fine. Now I'm really happy and moving nicely along.

I don't understand what you mean by the Home page having a reference to Global. You get Global from calling getGlobal() and that in turn would call createGlobal() if it has not already been created. > Here is what I hope to achive: > Put global property in the .application and have the property > initialize > the Global object. I've done this very thing in several applications. What is the issue you're having with the Home page?
