I think the best practice here is to create your own events, that way you don't have to build dependencies on child components internal structure. Your subcomponent would catch the events from it's dependencies and translate them to events that it exposes. http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/ComponentResourcesCommon.html triggerEvent or triggerContextEvent
