In your "project.application" file you can specify the following class
which will be default class for your pages. That way you won't have to
do it for the simple pages.
<application name="Fee Billing Application" ...>
...
<property name="org.apache.tapestry.default-page-class"
value="com.meridianinfo.common.tap.BasePage"/>
...
</application>
In our application of about 90 pages we do have about 5 pages which do
only specify the page class only.

Subject: Re: Anyway to get rid of the .page file?
Tapestry 4.0 includes a new mechanism whereby it searches a list of
packages
for your page or component classes. This is used if you omit the page
specification, or omit the class attribute from the page specification.
So
you can go a bit further without a page specification, but it's still
quite
recommended!
