Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tapestry Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by ErikVullings: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/WishList ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + HenriDupre: + * A little detail I'd like to see changed in Tapestry 3.1 (now 4 it seems) is the order of DataSqueezers registration in the framework. To integrate hibernate objects into the squeezer today, you need to create a superclass for all the hibernate objects (because the defaults types are registered before user types) and this makes impossible to use an interface for all the hibernate objects instead of a superclass. + * Something that is really bugging me with Tapestry 3 is the callback methods on the page for loading data. If you have a property in a page that needs data to be loaded into it, today the most obvious place is to write that at pageBeginRender. But this gets really weird with the rewinding because pageBeginRender gets called twice, so you have to add somekind of check if (getMyProperty() == null) then { //load data }. Also with the rewinding, you must be careful not to rely on any properties because they won't be loaded at the first run. That was really difficult to understand when I started with Tapestry. I think it would be much better to have specific interfaces: for instance, "initProperties(IRequestCycle cycle)" called once for every page after the @Hidden fields in a form are processed. + ThijsSuijten: Wouldn't it be nice to once and forever get rid of "back" "forward" and "refresh" hell while developing a web application? I've been reading the following article that provides an easy but effective solution for the back/foward/refresh problem. It would be VERY nice if this solution could be implemented in Tapestry Framework to get rid of the back/foward/refresh problem forever! @@ -54, +58 @@ * Make Tapestry pages somehow "compileable", adding support for this for ANT and so on. I'm going to make Ognl 3.0 generate java code (Dmitriy Kiriy, KiriyDmitriy at yandex.ru) + HenriDupre: I don't think code generation is not a good idea for Ognl 3.0. This would make the whole process of deploying any ognl based application quite complex. Can't you achieve the same goals using bytecode generation? + HowardLewisShip: Is runtime performance an issue? I would like to see an Ant task that can do better build-time checking, in the same way that Spindle does build-time checking. In terms of overall performance ... I just don't know that that is an issue. First, OGNL is getting faster. Second, Tapestry 3.1 is providing non-OGNL ways to do things that require OGNL today (such as asset:foo instead of ognl:components.foo, listener:foo instead of ognl:listeners.foo) ... these new binding prefixes don't rely on reflection. Third, the new bytecode enhancement for component parameters is not only easier, but more efficient than 3.0. I try to give back when taking away ... for all that Tapestry 3.1 is more complex under the covers than 3.0, I think applications ported from 3.0 to 3.1 will be at least as fast, if not faster (if they take advantage of the new features). @@ -61, +67 @@ SteveGibson: Is this difficult - ["FrequentlyAskedQuestions/LogoutLink"] * Add a way to prevent double click similar to Struts token * Support web flows + HenriDupre: It would be really nice to see Spring Web Flow integrated with Tapestry. + * Support web continuations {{{I don't see this as a feature of Tapestry.

Perhaps even make the scheme for tagging the binding name flexible. {{{ This would be problematic for template designers using CSS I would think. -- Kevin}}} * The biggest issue I have had (and have seen a lot others have) is with pleasing the rewind cycle. The rewind has to be completely transparent which means we should by default make all form elements serialize their state in hidden fields and allow the user to opt out. + HenriDupre: I think that all the form components (e.g. ListEdit and others) do quite well the job. I have pages where I don't want all the state to be serialized (I have large select lists). * Get ride of page specifications - I've got 13 pages, all listed in App.application, all with Page.page files with just one line: <page-specification class="app.Page"/>. Perhaps I use anonymous components too much, and page-specifications would be needed for more complex pages, but it'd be great for trivial pages not to have to jump through these hoops and instead get auto-looked up by package (e.g. put app.pages.* in App.application as an auto-lookup package) HowardLewisShip: The page specification is optional, any HTML template in the context is considered a page, and uses org.apache.tapestry.!BasePage.
