  @Inject
  private Locale locale;

  public String getCurrentTimeFormatted()
  {
    DateFormat format = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM, locale);
tapestry.page-pool-enabled
    return format.format(new Date());
  }

If such issues are difficult to solve, remember that as a temporary work-around you have the option of re-enabling the page pooling behavior of 5.1 by setting tapestry.page-pool-enabled to "true" in your configuration.

Service Id Injection

In prior releases of Tapestry, a constructor parameter of type String was assumed to be the service id. In the many cases where these was not the case (such as using the @Value or @Symbol annotation), the parameter needed to be annotated with the @Inject annotation.

...

Tapestry no longer uses a StAX parser to parse component templates, it has reverted to using a normal SAX parser. This change reduces the number of dependencies for Tapestry, and is a stepping stone towards compatibility with Google App Engine.
