I've been using Tapestry 3.0.3 for previous projects and for my next
project I wanted to use Tapestry 4 and Java5. This is the first time I'm
using Tapestry 4 (I downloaded beta2). So I'm struggling a bit with the
new features and new ways of doing things:
What happened to the initialize() method?
Javadoc says it's deprecated and there won't be a replacement method for
it. Does that mean I don't have to initialize my properties anymore
before the page is returned to the pool? Does that happen automatically
now, or do I still need to do something myself to make sure the pages
are properly cleaned?
If cleaning happens automatically now, is there still any reason to
create abstract pages? Abstract pages were previously only required to
let Tapestry do the dirty work of creating the getters/setters and
initialize methods as far as I know?
Can empty page-specifications now be removed? I tried the QuickStart
DirectLink Guide, which doesn't seem to define a .page-file and I did
set the meta key 'org.apache.tapestry.page-class-packages' to the
package containing my Page implementations.
Tapestry kept complaining that it couldn't locate the page unless I
added an empty page-specification. Then it worked flawlessly, even
though I didn't even tell the page-specification the Class it should use
(so it could figure out the proper Page-class, just not without a
.page-file).
Did anyone else have this problem? Am I doing something wrong here or
are empty .page-files still mandatory?
Regards,
Onno
