Component extension is one of my big preoccupation of my day work. That's really a big question and there is no obvious answer. I'm trying to explore ways with Tapestry 5 jQuery and I may blog on it in the next weeks.
For example, I'm using workers to achieve what Benny Law said: adding mixins to extend a component And you have to add a bit of extra code per usage in the > .tml (t:mixin="..."). > Theses workers automatically adds mixins when transforming a class, i.e. : http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/java/org/got5/tapestry5/jquery/services/FormResourcesInclusionWorker.java I'm also experimenting to create an abstract component class designed for extension http://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery/blob/master/src/main/java/org/got5/tapestry5/jquery/base/AbstractExtendableComponent.java It is POC code but I think there are some ways to explore.
