This has nothing to do with Tapestry For loops - ognl doesn't deal with anything tapestry specific when compiling statements ....
The interface / common object base isn't as bad as it sounds really... It will correctly traverse up the class tree and cast the statement to whatever base class/interface the method being invoked is ultimately declared in. For instance - in Kevins case (the Border component calling page.something on lots of different pages) could have easily been solved by having either all pages extend one base class or just declaring a common page interface class on them. Without having ~something~ to cast to though compilation is impossible. Of course - if it's just not casting to the right class that's a completely different problem and probably has an easy fix somewhere. Much like this mailing list though, I don't really fix ognl bugs unless there is a jira issue created at http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/OGNL with the specific class types / ognl versions / etc involved and the other normal bug reporting goodies. I'm genuinely interested in fixing all of these problems either way - but if people don't put enough effort in to logging the jira tickets for them with enough information for me to cobble together an ognl test case then there's nothing I can do but shrug my shoulders when people mention having problems.....
