You typically define your assets as part of the

I tend to write this as <img jwcid="myImage"/> just to
be clear on what I expect it to do. Tapestry doesn't
care ... you could say <lemon-jello jwcid="myImage"/> if
your wanted.

Change the path to "assets.homeImage". Every component
exports a property, assets, that is a map of all assets
defined for the component (in the next section).
<private-asset name="homeImage"
path="/package/home.gif"/>
(Please check the attributes ... from memory I may make
a mistake).
That's it ... no Java code.
Sidenote: there are one or two places in Tapestry where
things don't work if the code is generated in
the "default package". Always use a real package to
avoid problems.
