Simplifications for lightweight Tapestry5 projects
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAP5-1281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1281
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.15
            Reporter: Tobias Marx
            Priority: Minor


In order to simplify Tapestry5 even further i would like to suggest the 
following:

- auto-creation of "empty" page and component classes if they don't exist at 
runtime (to reduce number of lines of code, especially for small projects & 
demos)
- being able to reference a "global" service by default from within the 
templates where all database queries / persistence queries can be placed

This way, you could create quite complex web applications with only a few files:

- a layout templates
-  x template files for all pages (instead of 2*x)
-  y template files for all components (instead of 2*y)
- one "global" service as an additional file that contains all 
hibernate/persistance queries

This would cater of all users that want to create lightweight websites with 
only as many lines of code/files as really needed. 
A lot of website can be implemented just by querying data  and displaying them 
in a template (loop)

The idea:

- reduce the lines of code for small / medium projects
- create even more convincing Tapestry demos (vs. RoR/PHP)
- increase acceptance by more users checking Tapestry out for the first time
