Hey Alec, Looking at small excerpts from a large file leaves too much to the imagination. Can you create a minimal but complete page and component that reproduces the problem?
It feels like there is a bad return type or something on one of the methods in the chain, so having a complete non-working example would make it easier to debug. Here is my working example, I tried to make it close to what you are doing. ****************** myapp.pages.Start.java: public class Start { public List<String> getStrings() { List<String> strings = new ArrayList<String>(); strings.add("Hello"); strings.add("Goodbye"); return strings; } @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public List<MyMap> getMaps() { List<MyMap> maps = new ArrayList<MyMap>(); MyMap map = new MyMap(); map.put(0, "Zero"); map.put(1, "One"); maps.add(map); map = new MyMap(); map.put("horse", "buck"); map.put("goose", "egg"); maps.add(map); return maps; } public String getSomethingStrange() { return (String)getMaps().get(0).get(1); } } ****************** myapp.pages.Start.tml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <t:layout t:strings="prop:strings" t:maps="prop:maps" xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd"> This is the body </t:layout> ******************** myapp.components.Layout.java public class Layout { @Parameter private List<String> _strings; @Parameter private List<MyMap> _maps; public String getSomethingStrange() { return (String)_maps.get(0).get(1); } public List<String> getStrings() { return _strings; } public void setStrings(List<String> strings) { _strings = strings; } public List<MyMap> getMaps() { return _maps; } public void setMaps(List<MyMap> maps) { _maps = maps; } } ******************** myapp.components.Layout.tml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd"> <body> <p>Strange: ${somethingStrange}</p> <div style="border: thin red solid;"><t:body /></div> </body> </html> ******************** MyMap.java (for completeness...) package joshcan.test; import java.util.TreeMap; @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public class MyMap extends TreeMap { @Override public Object get(Object key) { Object o = super.get(key); return "my" + o.toString(); } } ************* Rendered output (hand formatted for readability) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <link href="/assets/tapestry/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <p>Strange: myOne</p> <div style="border: thin red solid;">This is the body</div> </body> </html> Hope that helps, Josh -- -- TheDailyTube.com.
