Are you referring to properties, or parameters?
In any event, you can have parameters and properties for components
that have a template. Declare the parameter in the .jwc file.
Tapestry will generate properties with the same name as your parameter
(unless you explicitly specify a different name).
So, in your code, if you need to get the value passed in as the
parameter, you can either do getProperty("foo") or else you can make
your class abstract and add a public abstract Foo getFoo(). Setting can
either be done with setProperty("foo",value); or public abstract void
