Apache Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. It is released under the Apache Software Licence 2.0. Tapestry complements and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any servlet container or application server. h2. What is Tapestry? Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure, allowing the Tapestry framework to assume responsibility for key concerns such as URL construction and dispatch, persistent state storage on the client or on the server, user input validation, localization/internationalization, and exception reporting. Developing Tapestry applications involves creating HTML templates using plain HTML, and combining the templates with small amounts of Java code. In Tapestry, you create your application in terms of objects, and the methods and properties of those objects \-\- and specifically not in terms of URLs and query parameters. Tapestry brings true object oriented development to Java web applications. h3. Tapestry is ... a web framework for Java Tapestry makes re-usability a reality and agility inherent to your development \! Tapestry applications are written in Java, the most popular enterprise applications development language. Tapestry combines simple Java classes with straight-forward templates to form components and pages. Tapestry takes care of all the "ugly plumbing" of a typical web application. Tapestry embraces convention over configuration. Say goodbye to endlessly editing XML configuration files! h3. Tapestry is ... component based Tapestry applications consist of pages and components. Components are easy to write, and easy to hook together. Tapestry always has an overall map of your application, because it knows all the pages and all the components within the pages ... this lets Tapestry do all the "dirty plumbing" of web application development. h3. Tapestry is ... agile Easy to code, easy to test, easy to deploy. Tapestry encourages you to work in small increments with immediate feedback so you are always making fast, forward progress. Want to code in Groovy or Scala instead? No problem! h3. Tapestry is ... fast Tapestry is pure Java. It doesn't use Java reflection, and is built to cleanly support large numbers of concurrent threads. Better yet, it automatically includes standard performance-enhancing strategies such as GZip content compression, _javascript_ aggregation, and far future expires headers ... all of which cut down response size and the number of client requests. h3. Tapestry is ... productive Code and templates are lean and mean. Live class reloading means that the time between seeing an error and providing the fix is seconds, not minutes. Advanced exception reporting gives you all the tools you need to fix your problem: not just a stack trace, but every bit of information you need to know about what Tapestry was doing, why it was doing it, what went wrong, and how to fix it. h3. Tapestry is ... scalable Tapestry works well for everything from a lone developer working on an application with just a couple of pages, all the way up to large teams and applications with hundreds of pages and custom components. For big teams, Tapestry's pages and components design keeps the efforts of different developers automatically integrated. Tapestry scales up big on a single server, but also gives you great options for when you need to switch to a cluster. Tapestry makes it easy to store information on the client (as hidden fields or query parameters) or on the server (in the session). h3. Tapestry is ... adaptable Tapestry's architecture is open and extensible. Don't like how Tapestry operates? There's a clean way to add your own logic, or substitute some of Tapestry's logic with your own. Tapestry modules make it easy to create components and package them for reuse in your current application, or across many applications. Tapestry has built-in modules for integrating Tapestry with the popular [Hibernate|http://hibernate.org] and [Spring|http://www.springsource.org/] projects, and third-party integrations with other tools, such as [Quartz|http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/]. h3. Tapestry is ... global Tapestry has built-in support for more than a dozen different languages, and makes it easy for your application to cleanly support multiple localizations. Tapestry automatically tracks the user's preferred locale and makes it easy to access user-localized messages across the entire application. h3. Tapestry is ... dependable Tapestry's roots go back to 2003 as an Apache project, and even earlier as an open-source project. Thousands of applications run on Tapestry, including high-throughput sites such as SeeSaw.com. Tapestry applications have a history of running glitch-free. h3. Tapestry is ... fun Tapestry removes the tedium of developing web applications, leaving just the fun parts. Tapestry keeps you "in the zone", having fun and coding up a storm! Tapestry: code less deliver more! More on [Tapestry philosophy|TAPESTRY:Principles] ... Full Content Component oriented framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Java power Tapestry pages and components are simple Java POJOs, with easy access to all Java language features and the vast Java ecosystem. Thanks to Java's advanced concurrency API, Tapestry handles requests fast without sacrificing security or stability. Scripting ease Tapestry features live class reloading: change your Java code, refresh the browser and see the changes... instantly! Have your cake and eat it too: the speed and depth of Java, the agile development style of Ruby or Python. Highly Productive Simple POJO classes, streamlined templates, live class reloading, state-of-the-art exception reporting, first-class Ajax support, and a big library of built-in components: Tapestry is designed from the ground up to give you great productivity. We think you will love Tapestry! Give us 20 minutes and follow our tutorial. News Monday, 11 October 2010 Tapestry version 5.2.1 (beta) Last changed Oct 11, 2010 12:02 by Howard M.
