"when is a component not a component? when its a tapestry component"
which is not a bad thing you just have to learn how this great framework works. but the major problem for me is "when is a tapestry component not a tapestry compoent? when its in a loop" I have had problems with tap 3 with this and again with tapestry 4. I have had to modify parts of the framework to deal with the fact that a components state (when in a loop) is not available after the rewind. Or the fact that you have to code your component completely differently if you ever want to reference a component following it in a loop.
