Hi,
as far as Java Web Application "standards" go, the static assets, but not normally the page a/o component templates, can be found under WEBAPP-ROOT/js etc. I think that tapestry 5 should stick to the established principles instead of reinventing the wheel. Also, I do not see why this should impose problems on the user, as the users are already accustomed to that practice. As for the templates, I think you should go for a templates/ subfolder, located directly under WEBAPP-ROOT, or a tapestry5 subfolder. Either would be fine with me. However, I am still wondering how an application that consists of multiple modules that are deployed separatedly in form of external libraries would be able to contribute the static resources found in those libraries so that they can be served directly from the filesystem instead of from inside a jar.
