Howard M. Lewis Ship updated TAPESTRY-2487:
-------------------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
Tapestry does provide a lot of this functionality via either Mixins or via
standard composition.
When I create an entity-specific link component, I create a component with a
template that contains a standard page link. If necessary, I make the page link
inherit parameters from the container component.
The issue with making all those methods protected (instead of private/package
private) is that just increases the surface area of code that needs to stay
backwards compatible from release to release; that can ultimately hamstring our
ability to add new features. Eventually you'll start seeing "PageLink2" or
"Palette3" components, as we have to version components.
> Provide support for subclassing core components

> Key: TAPESTRY-2487
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2487
> Project: Tapestry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.0.13
> Reporter: Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo
> Priority: Minor
>
> Almost all core Tapestry 5 components have all methods with package
> visibility, something that prevents subclassing them to build new
> functionality over already existing ones or to change some specify behaviour.
> Other related problem is access to parameters in subclasses, as they need to
> be private and the core components don't provide getters.
> The only solution found by me and other people in the Tapestry mailing list
> is to copy the original component code and then apply the needed changes.
> There is a discussion about this at
> http://www.nabble.com/-T5--About-core-components-subclassing-and-methods-with-package-visibility-to18104118.html.
