Description

At the bottom of http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-ioc/cookbook/servconf.html (Mapped Configurations), you mention:

Tapestry IoC's symbols mechanism allows configuration values to be defined and perhaps overridden, then provided to services via injection, using the Value annotation.

I think it would be more clear if you added that you may also need to use the Inject annotation, and maybe if you provided a simple example, like:

public class Start
{
@Inject
@Value("${tapestry.supported-locales}")
private String _supportedLocales;

public String getSupportedLocales()

{ return _supportedLocales; }

}
