Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on TAP5-1281:
--------------------------------------------
Over the weekend I did think about having Tapestry provide a core/Index page
that would act as a "welcome" page to a new application.
I'm very much opposed to having DB queries and the like in the TML; that's
turning Tapestry *into* PHP.
> 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
