- - ### Method Detail

    - #### defaultLabel

          java.lang.String defaultLabel​(ComponentResources resources)

      Computes the default label for the component (which will generally be a `Field`).
      Parameters:
        `resources` -
      Returns:
        the label, either extracted from the component's container's message catalog, or derived from the component's `ComponentResourcesCommon.getId()`.

    - #### defaultBinding

          Binding defaultBinding​(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                 ComponentResources resources)

      Checks to see if the container of the component (identified by its resources) contains a property matching the component's id. If so, a binding for that property is returned. This is usually the default for a `Field`'s value parameter (or equivalent).
      Parameters:
        `parameterName` - the name of the parameter
        `resources` - the resources of the component for which a binding is needed
      Returns:
        the binding, or null if the container does not have a matching property

    - #### defaultValueEncoder

          ValueEncoder defaultValueEncoder​(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                           ComponentResources resources)

      Gets or creates a value encoder based on the type of the named parameter. ValueEncoders are cached based on type.
      Parameters:
        `parameterName` - the name of the parameter whose type is used to locate a `ValueEncoderFactory`
        `resources` - the resources of the component, from which parameter and its type are extracted
      Returns:
        the value encoder, or null if the type of the parameter is not known

    - #### defaultTranslator

          FieldTranslator defaultTranslator​(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                            ComponentResources resources)

      Deprecated.
      Use `defaultTranslatorBinding(String, org.apache.tapestry5.ComponentResources)` instead
      Provides a translator based on the bound parameter type, if possible.
      Parameters:
        `parameterName` -
        `resources` -
      Returns:
        the translator, or null

    - #### defaultTranslatorBinding

          Binding defaultTranslatorBinding​(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                           ComponentResources resources)

      Provides a binding that itself provides the field translator.
      Parameters:
        `parameterName` -
        `resources` -
      Returns:
        binding that provides the `FieldTranslator`

    - #### defaultValidator

          FieldValidator defaultValidator​(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                          ComponentResources resources)

      Deprecated.
      Use `defaultValidatorBinding(String, org.apache.tapestry5.ComponentResources)` instead
      Provides a validator based on the bound parameter type. If the property type of the parameter is not known, then a no-op validator is returned.
      Parameters:
        `parameterName` -
        `resources` -
      Returns:
        the validator, possibly a no-op validator

    - #### defaultValidatorBinding

          Binding defaultValidatorBinding​(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                          ComponentResources resources)

      Provides a binding that itself provides the field translator.
      Parameters:
        `parameterName` -
        `resources` -
      Returns:
        binding that provides the `FieldTranslator`
