[http://planesailing.blogspot.com/2006/03/tapestry-edit-component.html Some

documentation and over-architecting (imho). The BeanForm is a simpler solution 
to this common problem:
  
+ {{{<span jwcid="@BeanForm" bean="ognl:pojo" success="ognl:listeners.save"/>}}}
- {{{
- <span jwcid="@BeanForm" bean="ognl:pojo" save="listener:save" 
delete="listener:delete"/>
- }}}
  
- The above code gets you a form that will call save() when submitted for save, 
delete() when submitted for delete, displays !TextFields for the bean's string 
and numerical properties, Checkboxes for its boolean properties and 
!DatePickers for its date properties, and automatically disables fields for 
read-only properties. Properties are discovered via 
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/index.html bean 
introspection]. You can use the BeanForm with a single line, as shown above, or 
you can include it inside one of your existing Forms, in which case the 
internal Form component will not be generated. It's your choice.

[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/javabeans/index.html bean

- You can also specify exactly which properties you want included in the 
BeanForm, as well as cancel and refresh listeners and any of the other 
parameters supported by the 
[http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/tapestry/ComponentReference/Form.html Form 
component]. When you explicitly specify the editable properties, those 
properties are shown on the page in the order you specify:
+ You can also specify exactly which properties you want included in the

- {{{
- <span jwcid="@BeanForm" bean="ognl:pojo" 
properties="ognl:'name,email,comment'" save="listener:save" 
cancel="listener:cancel" refresh="listener:refresh" />
+ {{{<span jwcid="@BeanForm" bean="ognl:pojo" properties="ognl:'id,name,email'" 
success="ognl:listeners.save" cancel="ognl:listeners.cancel" 
refresh="ognl:listeners.refresh" />}}}
- }}}
  
- The generated HTML is a form containing a two-column table (unless the 
BeanForm is already inside a Form, in which case another Form is not 
generated). The left column contains the field labels and the right column 
contains the data entry fields. The bottom row spans both columns and contains 
the save button (if the ''save'' parameter was specified), the cancel button 
(if the ''cancel'' parameter was specified), the refresh button (if the 
''refresh'' parameter was specified) and the delete button (if the ''delete'' 
parameter was specified). The table can be styled using CSS: the table's CSS 
class is ''beanFormTable'', the left column's CSS class is 
''beanFormLeftColumn'', the right column's CSS class is 
''beanFormRightColumn'', and the bottom column that contains the buttons has 
the CSS class ''beanFormButtonColumn''.

''beanFormLeftColumn'', the right column's CSS class is 
''beanFormRightColumn'', and the bottom column that contains the buttons has 
the CSS class ''beanFormButtonColumn''.
  
- If you need to customize any of the input fields, you can do so by adding a 
Block component to your page (with the id ''"[propertyName]!BeanFieldBlock"'') 
that contains any I!FormComponent (with the id ''"[propertyName]!BeanField"''). 
Doing this will also allow you to edit properties that are considered 
non-editable by default (ie, not a string / boolean / number / date).
+ Internationalization is supported out of the box: field labels are messages 
keyed on the property name. The submit button is labeled with the message 
corresponding to the key ''submit''. The cancel button (if displayed) is 
labeled with the message corresponding to the key ''cancel''. The refresh 
button (if displayed) is labeled with the message corresponding to the key 
''refresh''.
  
+ All of this is done in ~300 lines and is simple enough that when you need 
that one extra feature, you can just enhance this code rather than going back 
to boilerplateland. All constructive criticism is welcome. Enjoy!
- For example, if you wanted to edit the ''comment'' property in a !TextArea 
instead of the default textfield, you could add the following to your page:
- 
- {{{
- <div jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
-       <input jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="ognl:pojo.comment" 
displayName="message:comment"/>
- </div>
- }}}
- 
- In order to use validation, specify the ''delegate'' parameter (unless you 
have already specified it in an external Form component that contains this 
component) and add standard Tapestry 
[http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/validation.html validator lists] 
to the ''properties'' parameter, in between squiggly brackets (''{ }''). Fox 
example, if you want to make the ''name'' and ''email'' properties required, 
and want to check that ''email'' is actually an email address, you could do the 
following:
- 
- {{{
- <span jwcid="@BeanForm" bean="ognl:pojo" 
properties="ognl:'name{required},email{required,email},comment'" 
save="listener:save" delegate="bean:validationDelegate" 
clientValidationEnabled="ognl:true"/>
- }}}

- Internationalization is supported out of the box: field labels are messages 
keyed on the property name. The save button (if displayed) is labeled with the 
message corresponding to the key ''save''. The cancel button (if displayed) is 
labeled with the message corresponding to the key ''cancel''. The refresh 
button (if displayed) is labeled with the message corresponding to the key 
''refresh''.  The delete button (if displayed) is labeled with the message 
corresponding to the key ''delete''.

- This component should be simple enough that when you need that one extra 
feature, you can just enhance this code rather than going back to 
boilerplateland. Enjoy!

  Gotchas:
   * Change the package name in BeanForm.java!
   * Use your own logging framework in BeanForm.java!
-  * If you are using a page property (''pojo'' in all the examples above) for 
the BeanForm's ''bean'' parameter, you will probably need to make this page 
property persistent. Otherwise, your page will likely break during the rewind

-  *      cancel="listener:cancel" delete="listener:delete"
-  *      refresh="listener:refresh" /&gt;</tt></li>
-  *   <li>To edit the <tt>comment</tt> property in a text area you would add 
the
-  *      following to your page:<br>
-  *      <tt>&lt;div jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"&gt;</tt><br>
-  *      <tt>&lt;input jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
-  *         value="ognl:pojo.comment"
-  *         displayName="message:comment"/&gt;</tt><br>
-  *      <tt>&lt;/div&gt;</tt><br>
-  *      </tt></li>
-  *   <li>To make <tt>name</tt> and <tt>email</tt> required, and check that
-  *      <tt>email</tt> is actually an email:
-  *      <tt>&lt;span jwcid="@BeanForm" bean="ognl:pojo"

+  *
+  * <ul>
+  *   <li>Expose all the parameters exposed by the <tt>Form</tt>

+  *   <li>Add validation, perhaps within the <tt>properties</tt> parameter

to make <tt>name</tt>
