Jochen Kemnade updated TAP5-1398:
---------------------------------
    Labels: bulk-close-candidate  (was: )

This issue affects an old version of Tapestry that is not actively developed anymore, and is therefore prone to be bulk-closed in the near future.

If the issue still persists with the most recent version of Tapestry (currently 5.4.0, available from Maven Central), please update it as soon as possible and add '5.4.0') to the issue's affected versions.

> I'd like to see a special base class that could be extended to easily provide server-side logic for editting a field.
> My scenario is a drop down list for selecting a country which Ajax-updates a drop down list for a region within a country and a text field for the city name (with autocomplete).
> City is represented as an entity is my schema; I'd like an easy way to extract the city.name property as the initial value of the field when rendered, and then have a way to turn the country/region/city name into a City entity when the form is submitted.
> I've cobbled together a mechanism using mixins, but it is a bit awkward to use. This seems to cry out for a simple subclass of AbstractTextField, perhaps EditField<T>.
