Activation event handler regression after upgrading from 5.4-beta-22 to 5.4-beta-31

[Chris Poulsen <ma...@nesluop.dk>]

Hi,

We have an abstract parent class with an activation handler declared like
this:

@OnEvent( EventConstants.ACTIVATE )
void activate( EventContext ec ) (Called)

And an extending class with an activation handler declared like this:

@OnEvent( EventConstants.ACTIVATE )
Object activate( EventContext ec ) (Not called during activation)

After updating to beta-31 the activation handler in the extending class is
not called anymore.

Changing the signature to use the naming convention in the extending class
gets things going again:

Object onActivate( EventContext ec )  (Called after parent activate)

Has anyone else seen this behavior after upgrading from beta-22?

Possibly a sign you should be using composition instead of inheritance ;)

We're using inheritance to avoid duplication and inheritance is a supported
pattern in tapestry - So I would not expect this to break by updating to
the latest 5.4 beta.

@Michael - I've though about the signatures, but it have been working up
until now. It just seems odd that the "onActivate" naming convention still
works, while the @OnEvent stopped working.

I wonder if it might have something to do with the superclass signature
being:

void activate(EventContext)

and the subclass signature being:

Object activate(EventContext)

I know I've used similar patterns in 5.3, but haven't tried in 5.4 yet.
