Hi Paul, I found the source of my problem. Luckily and it has nothing to do with Tapestry. Tapestry gets a list of ProductCategory beans from iBatis' cache. Remember, ProductCategory which contains the troublesome subCategories field?
My solution was to clone the ProductCategory objest, returned by iBatis, before making it available to Tapestry.

If it is a Tapestry @Bean, I really don't think you need to synchronize on it, either. You may, however, need to clear it out between requests. Maybe others can clarify: does Tapestry pool bean instances?
