Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo commented on TAP5-85:
---------------------------------------------------
I prefer the idea of a Maven plugin that creates the empty classes
automatically way more than changing the framework itself, as this would
complicate a lot the way pages and components are located.

> Key: TAP5-85
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-85
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 5.0.15
> Environment: Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition, Eclipse 3.3,
> Maven 2, Jetty 5.5, Tomcat 6
> Reporter: Evan M Rawson
> Priority: Minor
>
> You should not need a java class create to view a page. The framework should
> be able to generate a basic class on the fly. This would aid significantly to
> the production flow of tapestry applications. Meaning that designers and
> system architects do not need to setup the basic java class in order to build
> and test the front end user interface.
> When a java class representing the page is present then it would override
> this default generate class that tapestry makes on the fly.
> EX: right now im creating a pretty decent sized tapestry application (75 to
> 125 pages). The pages have been mocked up and the interface is being
> assembled (html/css). I am finding that i am needing to create a bunch of
> empty java classes in order to view the page to test it; this seems pointless
> and redundant to me. For example a script in maven could be written to auto
> generate all of the classes based on the html template dir is stored, saving
> a few hours of naming and creating.
> the java developer should not have to create the html pages, technically
> they should be able to use junit to handle testing their base components
> which they have created. The backend and frontend should seamlessly
> integrated with each other.
