BaseComponent is a subclass of AbstractComponent, so it can have
parameters...

Subject: Re: Confusion about renderComponent on custom components
Can I still pass parameters. The way I am reading the
documentation it says that Tapestry requires an
AbstractComponent implementation to handle parameters.
Am I reading this wrong.

If you have a template and simply want to render it,
then subclass
from BaseComponent and do _not_ override
renderComponent. If you
need to do rendering yourself, subclass from
AbstractComponent
instead and implement the abstract method needed for
rendering.
I've never seen a case where you needed to have both
a template and
do rendering in code manually.
