Look great to me. I am just wondering how sessionScopeVar is working? Is it like the "var" argument in JSTL?
By the way, what I like about this approach is that we don't have to hide everything behind JSF components. I was wondering why I would need to write a list component while in fact a list or a table is just a specific use of a forEach component. It will allow developpers to develop simple components quickly just by reusing basic building blocks :) That was a big weakness of JSF in my mind to always have to write code to develop new components. So great job! I love this feature. By the way, maybe you should consider in your design that some more logic components might be add in the future (I don't know how many Tapestry has but it should give us a good estimation). So I guess putting that in ClayAmalgam is fine for the moment but it can become bloated over time. Just my two cents.
