<!--
The DTD for Tapestry application and component specifications.
Associated with the public identifier:
-//Howard Lewis Ship//Tapestry Specification 1.2//EN
The canonical location for the DTD is:
http://tapestry.sf.net/dtd/Tapestry_1_2.dtd
For application specifications, the root element is application.
For component specifications the root element is specification.
This DTD is backwards compatible with the 1.1 DTD, with the following exceptions:
- Addition of the parameter-name attribute to the parameter element
- Addition of direction attribute to the parameter element
- Addition of string-binding element
-->

<!-- =======================================================
Element: bean
Appears in: specification
Defines a JavaBean that will be used in some way by the component. Beans
are accessible via the components' beans property (which contains a property
for each bean). Beans are created as needed, and are discarded based on
the lifecycle attribute. Beans are typically used to extend the
implementation of a component via aggregation.
Attributes:
name: the name of the bean
class: the Java class to instantiate
lifecycle: when the reference to the bean should be discard
"none" no lifecycle, the bean is created and returned, but not stored
"request" the bean is retained until the end of the request cycle
"page" the bean is retained for the lifespan of the page
Nothing prevents a bean for storing state; however, such state will
not be associated with any particular session (unlike persistant page
properties). Further, because of page pooling, subsequent requests
from the same client may be serviced by different instances of a page and
(therefore) different bean instances.
Beans that have the "request" lifecycle may be stored into a pool
for later re-use (in the same or different page).
The bean may have its properties set. Properties are set on both
newly instantiated beans, and beans that are retrieved from a pool.
