Hi Dreamer, I'm quite new to Tapestry myself, but let's give it a try.. :)

I've encountered the same 'problem'. You can give Direct a parameter statefull parameter (field-pararameter Boolean.FALSE) to make it NOT require session. If your Direct really needs a session then obviously somebody would have to created it earlier and it should exist. What comes to automagically create session.. The general main principle is to keep application stateless as long as possible. This added to previous; session creation should happen when it's really needed. This has impacts on application desing and flow. > 2) > simple question: > if I want to dynamically change the bgcolor attribute in a table cell > eg. <td> tag, what's the best way to do it? > I use [Any] component to generate <td> element and use the informal > parameter to bind the value, it works. but is there any better solution? Well.. I'm not that sure about this, but I'd make different CSSs and change class of the element dynamically (with method you described).
