Background: I've never "done" the T5 tutorial.
But I do have functional T5 apps.
Few things:
1) In T5, multiple annotations/item are supported
2) You don't need to persist the page. You might need to persist
values that each page needs, but you don't need to persist the pages.
3) Tapestry will only enhance private variables. Your declaration:
@InjectPage
GameOver _gameOver
should be:
@InjectPage
private GameOver _gameOver
Check the tapestry logging output; it should warn you that it didn't
enhance the _gameOver field.
Cheers,
Robert

I'm teaching myself Tapestry by jumping right into version 5. I'm a
pretty experienced developer and so I'm not ready to give up and go
back to version 4, but I am having what is probably a very basic
problem...
I'm trying to do the Tapestry 5 tutorial and I'm on the section
where we count the number of guesses on Guess page page:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tutorial1/hilo.html
The tutorial doesn't fully cover what should be in Guess.java
This method:
Object onActionFromLink(int guess) {
_count++;
if (guess == _target) {
_gameOver.setup(_count);
return _gameOver;
}
if (guess < _target)
_message = String.format("%d is too low.", guess);
else
_message = String.format("%d is too high.", guess);
return null;
}
GameOver is another page in the app. Not knowing exactly what I
should do, I have declared as a variable in Guess.java:
@InjectPage
GameOver _gameOver;
However, this is leading to a NullPointerException, which kind of
makes sense because GameOver isn't persisted. So, I tried:
@InjectPage @Persist
GameOver _gameOver
But that doesn't fix the problem, and documentation I found in
Tapestry 4 seems to say that you can't declare multiple injection
tags per variable.
Does anyone have a working Tapestry 5 tutorial? Or can help me with
this specific problem?
I've also tried something like:
GameOver _gameOver = new GameOver();
_gameOver.setup(_count);
return _gameOver;
(the WebObjects way) but that leads to an even weirder exception...
Thanks,
