In this step, you'll generate a an HTML Template to display information from the Person object. It will contain Tapestry's syntax for rendering form elements - which is just HTML with "jwcid" attributes. The AppGen tool that's used to do this is based off a StrutsGen tool - which was originally written by [Erik Hatcher|http://www.blogscene.org/erik/]. It's basically just a couple of classes and a bunch of XDoclet templates. All these files are located in extras/appgen.

You'll notice a number of keys in this file - "person.deleted", "person.added" and "person.updated". These are all keys that need to be in your i18n bundle (ApplicationResources_en.properties). You should've added these at the beginning of this tutorial. If you want to customize these messages, to add the a person's name or something, simply add a {0} placeholder in the key's message and then use setMessage(format(key, stringtoreplace)) method.
