Thanks Patrick! Someone should put this in the FAQ :-)

        Put a hidden text field at the *top* of your form so it rewinds
first. Put the unique ID of your persistent object there.

        Bind that field do a property on your form.

        In that property's setter method, load your object.

Subject: Database Update Cycle

Howdy,
I'm using T4 and a bit confused about how to create update screens. Let
me explain. I have a User class which I pull from the database. I have a
form which updates to properties (of many) on the User object: login and
password.

When I first click on "edit user" I have a edit() function which
populates MyPage.user from the database.  I have a save() method which
is triggered by a button on the edit form. When I click save() I want to
pull the User from the DB and then have the login/password fields
updated on that User object. But Tapestry always wants to create the
User object itself via ognl it seems.

How can I get it from the DB on the update?

Thanks,

- Dan
