Hello, Thank you again Thiago, Thilo and Java Lance over on StackOverflow - I posted a link there to this mailing list thread so anyone can follow if they come searching for the same issue.
Adding formState="interation" did the trick, the Result object was already persisted. I have learnt a few things from this: 1- Putting things in components is generally very strongly advised. I have around 10 at the moment, but there are certainly a lot of things which I should move in to components to make the project easier to manage. It is rather likely that at some stage soon I will be re-factoring my whole project (which is rather large, consisting of 59 classes (10 components, 18 pages, 9 entities, several "utility" classes and some services). I finally have some time to be working on this project rather than being pulled in lots of directions, so now is the time (It has suffered from lots of "cheapo" solutions this last few months). 2- I now know what formState="interaction" is. Following the advice I looked it up here: http://tapestry.apache.org/5.3/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/LoopFormState.html 3- I owe the community a great deal of thanks :) Thank you! You have made my day.
