Hi,
I just recently started playing around with Tapestry 4 and to
get to know it better I've ported one of my smaller applications. So I spent
a good amount of time trying to figure out what had happened to the things
that got broken with the upgrade and now I have two questions to ask.
1. The first one is about visibility for a page's (or component's)
properties. In Tapestry 3.x I used to declare all my abstract getter/setter
methods for the properties as "protected" except for some special cases. It
used to work fine. However, in Tapestry 4, the enhanced class does not
provide an implementation for the protected abstract methods, so I get an
exception saying that the class has unimplemented methods. I have to declare
them as public for it to work. Is this the way it should really work? I
couldn't find anything about this in the docs, so I'm guessing it's a bug.
2. What do I do when I want to use Tapestry Annotations to create a
non-persistent property? Since there is no @Property annotation, I'd have to
use @Persist to create a property, but I'm assuming that it necessarily
creates a persistent property.
Thanks in advance.
