Thanks Thiago for your help Ok List.JAVA is located under the pages directory
https://github.com/tynamo/tapestry-model/blob/master/tapestry-model-example/src/main/java/org/tynamo/examples/simple/pages/List.java This is one typical sample app that uses it. Its identical to the one I use. If your not careful you can get caught up with package includes colliding with "java.util.List" my package includes are resolved as this was posing a problem for me week sback unknowingly... and I am sure back in June 2013 this is not the cause or blame for my issue My issue being I cannot get the edit page to feed back to the show page.
