Before going into Tapestry-specific work, let's prepare some helper classes. First of all, since we are going to deal with celebrities, it will make sense to create a Celebrity class.

private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private Date dateOfBirth;
private Occupation occupation;
public Celebrity()

this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
this.occupation = occupation;
}
public String getFirstName()
{
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName)
