Jeez - I didn't read the example well. I was not thinking @Parameter, I was thinking @Property. A parameter means something else entirely.

Sorry,
Christian.

I think even that is ambiguous.

Would an @OverrideDefault annotation be appropriate here as a signal? (I'd
just say just @Override for readability, but that's been used)

It looks to me like theres an ambiguity here: I don't think a child
component should be allowed to declare a second parameter, "name" in
this example, that is already defined in a super-class.

Hello Howard,

It turns out the error occurs only when the child wants to provide its
own default binding for a parameter originally defined in parent;
example:

public class Parent {
@Parameter
private String name;
void setupRender() {
    name.toUpperCase(); // NPE happens here
}
}

public class Child extends Parent{
@Parameter("prop:name")
private String name;
public String getName() {
    return "Tom";
}
}

Page class:
public class ChildExample {
@Component
private Child child;
}

Template ChildExample.tml:
<html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/ tapestry_5_0_0.xsd">
<h3>Test</h3>
<t:child t:id="child"/>
</html>

I am sorry for my previous inaccurate information and thanks for
looking into it.

Hello all,

It seems there is no clear document about how to access a parameter defined in parent component; previous to 5.0.18, I was using the way of declaring the parameter again in child class and it worked well; however looks like some changes in 5.1.0.0 broke the way, seems there is no link between the parameter with same name in parent and child
now.

The problem is when I am USING a tapestry component, it's such a
comfortable experience; but when I write a sub-class of a component, I am getting frustrated: a lot of methods are package visible; there is no clear way for parameter manipulation, a typical question: can I update an attibute of parameter in parent class? If inheritance is not
a good practice in Tapestry, there should be a document about it.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Yunhua
