- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  ApplicationStateContribution | A contribution to the configuration of the `ApplicationStateManager`, identifying the strategy and creator for a particular Session State Object (SSO), identified by the SSO's class.
  AssetAlias | Deprecated Deprecated in 5.4 (see notes in `ClasspathAssetAliasManager`).
  BeanBlockContribution | A contribution to the `BeanBlockSource` service, defining a page name and block id (within the page) that can edit or display a particular type of property.
  ComponentEventRequestParameters | Encapsulates all the information that may be provided in a component event request URL.
  ComponentLibraryInfo | Class that encapsulates information about a component library, going beyond what a library mapping provides.
  ComponentLibraryInfo.DefaultSourceUrlResolver | Default `ComponentLibraryInfo.SourceUrlResolver` implementation.
  DefaultObjectRenderer | Default object renderer as a catch all for class `Object`.
  DelegatingRequest | Class that wraps an Request, delegating all its methods.
  DisplayBlockContribution | Contribution to `BeanBlockSource` identifying a block that is used to display a property.
  EditBlockContribution | Contribution to `BeanBlockSource` identifying a block that is used to edit a property.
  HttpError | An event handler method may return an instance of this class to send an error response to the client.
  InitializeActivePageName | Filter contributed into the `ComponentRequestHandler` pipeline to set the `activePageName property`.
  LibraryMapping | Used to configure the `ComponentClassResolver`, to allow it to map library names to library root packages (the application namespace is a special case of this).
  PageRenderRequestParameters | Used with `PageRenderRequestHandler` and `PageRenderRequestFilter` to define the logical page name and activation context for the request.
  StackTraceElementClassConstants | CSS classes, from the default CSS stylesheet, used with `StackTraceElementAnalyzer`.
  StreamPageContent | An event handler method may return an instance of this class to trigger the rendering of a particular page without causing a redirect to that page; the rendering takes place as part of the original component event request, thus forming the opposite of Tapestry's normal redirect-after-event behavior.

  ComponentLayer | Marker annotation used to identify a service from the component layer that conflicts, in terms of service interface, with a service from elsewhere.
