You got through this time! Look in the Vlib example included with Tapestry. In particular the class net.sf.tapestry.vlib.Protected The validate() method in Protected kicks off the kind of checking you are looking for.
validate() is called by all the built-in services before the page is shown. Basically, the services do this: 1. get the page: IPage myPage = cycle.getPage(somepage) 2. validate: myPage.validate() - an exception is thrown if the user isn;t allowed to see the page 3. No exception in 2? then set the page: cycle.setPage(myPage) So, you should be aware that if *you* need to call cycle.setPage(), you need call validate(), its not automatic.
