You could declare the person property as a bean. Then, Tapestry will create it for you.

I'm having a bit of a time understanding some of Tapestry. I have a class MyTest{ publiic abstract getPerson(); // tapestry should do the rest - but doesnt } I have a html file with the following <input jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="ognl:person.lastName" maxlength="40" size="40" name="lastname" /> I thought tapestry would create an instance of person, but what happens, tapestry creates the variable for person but not the object (still is null). I can make this work by overriding the initialize method in MyTest and checking for a null person, but that implies I have to create a setPerson method etc. thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
