1. You can move form up, so that you personeditor component will contain only form controls:
*page.tml* <t:form> <t:personeditor t:person="person" /> </t:form> *personeditor.tml* <t:textfield t:value="person.name" /> ... *page2.tml* <t:form> <t:personeditor t:person="person" /> <t:textfield t:value="extraField" /> </t:form> All validation logic can be deffered using FormSupport. 2. Or you can use block parameters. *page.tml* <t:personeditor t:person="person" /> *personeditor.tml* <t:form> <t:textfield t:value="person.name" /> ... <t:delegate to="extra"/> </t:form> *PersonEditor.java* @Property @Parameter private Block extra; *page2.tml* <t:personeditor t:person="person"> <p:extra> <t:textfield t:value="extraField" /> </p:extra> </t:personeditor> On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 2:53 PM, Nathan Quirynen <nat...@pensionarchitects.be > wrote: > Hi, > > I have a component which I pass a Person object as parameter.
