Hi all,

I spoke to Matt after his presentation as well and started to discuss the 
evaluation approach by mail. As somebody mentioned, he told people to contact 
him in case they don't agree. He did a lot of work on the research. I have only 
done 3 indepth evaluations and it takes an incredible amount of time to do such 
things. His effort should be respected and we should provide him with easy to 
prove arguments based on code samples etc.

The issue is not to value Tapestry down for efficiency. In a use case of a 
stateless application, there are good arguments that development efficiency is 
a lot higher with Spring MVC or Stripes or a light way Ruby framework. His 
evaluation is correct in that sense. In a use case of a business application 
this evaluation is no longer true and due to good error messages, class 
reloading etc Tapestry deserves a better evaluation.

What I proposed to Matt is to work out different use cases and point out which 
framework does support such an approach the best way?

Just to give you a couple of different use cases:
- Business application with many dialogs to work on data -> best addressed with 
component based frameworks to allow heavy reuse of elements (Tapestry, Wicket, 
JSF 2)
- same as above but requirement of high development speed could exclude JSF 2
- integration of business process managament, JEE etc JSF2 could be in again 
support by JBoss Seam
- Web like application / platform -> mostly stateless, performance 
considerations (Stripes, Spring MVC)
- Business app with heavy interaction on a single page -> fat client approaches 
(GWT, Flex, CK, echo, Vaadin etc)
- Same as before but limited client performance -> approaches which build 
together the content on the server (Tapestry, Wicket, Vaadin)

I will keep you posted.
