Hello I'm currently integrating dojo into Tapestry5. Today things seem
to go well, but I've seen one thing that doesn't fully convince me.

In AbstractField we have
@Environmental(false)
private FormSupport formSupport;

and then

@SetupRender
    final void setup()
    {
        // By default, use the component id as the (base) client id.
If the clientid
        // parameter is bound, then that is the value to use.

        String id = clientId;

        // Often, these controlName and clientId will end up as the
same value. There are many
        // exceptions, including a form that renders inside a loop, or
a form inside a component
        // that is used multiple times.

        if (formSupport == null) throw new
RuntimeException(InternalMessages.formFieldOutsideForm(getLabel()));

        assignedClientId = renderSupport.allocateClientId(id);
        String controlName = formSupport.allocateControlName(id);

        formSupport.storeAndExecute(this, new Setup(controlName));
        formSupport.store(this, PROCESS_SUBMISSION_ACTION);
    }


so a formSupport null will throw an excpetion.

When I'll decorate components like TextField I'll be obliged to put it
inside a Form component, when people not always need it.

Should't be possible only to send a warning or something like that on
formSupport null in 5.1.x?
