One quick question: does your class implement PageRenderListener? That
would be an explanation for your pageBeginRender never being called...
The abstract class is just a mechanism for allowing Tapestry to
"enhance" your class at runtime, saving you the effort to define
concrete accessor methods for your properties (the ones that are
defined in the .page). All your methods are still called whenever
they're supposed to, only you won't see the code for all methods
declared as abstract inside your class.
Hope it helps,
