Fix Version/s: (was: 4.1.5)
4.1.6
> Throw an exception when trying to access an uninitialized property
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TAPESTRY-1111
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1111
> Project: Tapestry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Peter Eastman
> Assignee: Jesse Kuhnert
> Fix For: 4.1.6
>
>
> If you do not specify a default value for a property (e.g. with
> @InitialValue), it gets initialized to a default value selected by Tapestry.
> This creates lots of opportunities for confusion and bugs. I suggest that
> instead, the property should be marked internally as "uninitialized". If you
> attempt to get its value while it is in that state, it should throw an
> exception. Looking up a property before its value has been set is almost
> always an error. It is much better to immediately alert the user so they can
> fix the bug, rather than letting their program appear to work, but misbehave
> in some possibly subtle way.
> This applies to any situation where you try to access a value that is not
> currently available. For example, if you try to access a persistent property
> inside pageAttached(), it should throw an exception rather than simply
> returning null.
