Having looked a the better petshop, I'm not sure it is the best source of best practices information. Certainly you would just have your POJO be a property of your page, this is incredibly easy with Tapestry. Tapestry does do type conversion very well, much better than Struts for example which is of course totally broken.
As far as security, I am using Acegi and will probably be using URL based restrictions, this is not hard with friendly URLs in Tap4. You could also do something much like your interceptor approach using Hivemind, but that is beyond my HM knowledge I'm afraid. --Chris --- "Payne, Matthew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently started with a new company that appears > to have chosen tapestry as their framework. > I've previously been swimming webwork over the last > couple of years.
