I must disagree. But first to clarify. I described two cases. 1. BeanEditForm that cannot instantiate my object 2. Same issue for SSO creating java.util.Date
AD 1. Quote from BeanEditForm doc: "Often, the BeanEditForm can create the object as needed (assuming a public, no arguments constructor). " So i provided such constructor in my entity (public no agrs) + I added another one that taken String and custom enum. What I assumed was that T5 will just use the one that it can use and leave other one alone. Due to that behavior no object handled to BeanEditForm should have more constructors than default one, or should be always created manually, and that is bit more than user need to do. Ad 2. Quote from linked documentation: "The first time you access an SSO, it is created automatically. Typically, the SSO will have a public no-args constructor ... but you may inject dependencies into the SSO via its constructor, as you can with a Tapestry IoC service implementation." In this case I wanted to use Date. Maybe not some real case scenario, so let's think about shoping basket for example. It may have default no args for T5 and second one if I want to instantiate it with some products. If T5 always takes constructor with most arguments it will fail on that scenario also, meaning that I will have to check boolean variable companion exist on every page on which I wan't to use my object. IMHO the best would be try to use no-args constructor or use one with most args and if You fail try another one and another till You succeed (meaning reach default no-args or error when there is no default no-args constructor).
