I don't understand, you said in the previous post that templates can be placed in the root context (that's great!) But in this mail you say that tap4 style templates must be in WEB-INF! Why? Tap 4 templates are great (in my point) and they should be also working in the root context. I think most of the people will use tap 4 style templates, and putting everything in the root context is cleaner for the web developer-designer that don't have to see all kind of other file.

Anyway good work and nice Job waiting to test Tap 4 :D

I've put up a new set of Tapestry 5 snapshots.

Nothing too significant changed in tapestry-ioc.

tapestry-core is really beginning to cook!  I've been adding more form
element components: PasswordField and Select to go with Checkbox, TextField
and TextArea.

Form components now post a bunch of different events that event handler
methods can hook into.

Event handler methods for forms can now return strings, links, or components
to abort the form handling and redirect to the named page or link.

An annoying bug related to multiple expansions on a single line of the
template is now fixed.

Tapestry 4 style templates are back, with a few differences. They must live in the WEB-INF folder. The default binding prefix is always "prop:" whether
you use <t:comp> or t:id within an existing tag.

There's now basic decoration of fields and labels, keyed off the default
Tapestry stylesheet (that's automatically included).

A bunch of other stuff too involved to explain.

We're still aways from the point where I would want to unleash this on the unsuspecting public. I have to put in a few more features before I do the
next screencast and start the tutorials:
- Application state objects
- Loop state management within a Form
- BeanForm-style behavior
- Implying component type based on element and attributes.

... and hats off to Kent Tong for diving in a building a sophisticated, built-in unit test framework. It's somewhat similar to using Selenium for testing, but without the need to start Jetty and Selenium servers, so it's
blindingly fast.
