Hi Daniel,

Really cool what you did there - and that after only a few days of using T5.
Hope to see more of it!

BTW I've linked your page to the T5 Wiki Howto
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowTos

Cheers
Erik

I wrote a generic selection component that I am using a lot.  It is
based on someone else's work with the BeanSelectionModel, in Tap 4.
It uses Bean Utils.

This may help you out some.

Another thing I did to make things a bit easier on me, was to make my
domain pojo's implement an interface called "Selectable"  which forces
them to have a method called getLabel()

Then I can always specify "label" to the GenericSelectionModel, and
the beanutils will call getLabel();.

This way I can also aggregate some things into my getLabel() method,
like concatenating first and last names, etc.

i.e.

String getLabel(){
return lastname + ", " + firstname;
}
