Hi Richard, I am one of such WO developers. I know very little about Tapestry internals yet, since I just started its evaluation. But I trust the people who recommended it to me.
From the standpoint where I am right now (of total ignorance about Tapestry features/usability :-)), the most important is the "marketing" aspect of it. Basically a perception that this is something that is going to replace the void, now that WebObjects is not an option. For an opensource project, the only way this can be achieved is by working with WO community directly. Offering Tapestry as a solution on WO mailing list when people ask for it. This is the only way, short from running a multimillion dollar TV commercial :-). I wish I had some positive feedback about Tapestry back in July when I was starting on a new project. We selected Struts and it became the source of enormous pain. And this was all because no one ever posted a Tapestry success story on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (till recently I guess). After this "perception" barrier is broken, you can start talking about features, etc. I understand that Tapestry has a lot to offer to a WO developer as it is. And of course to switch from WO, Web presentation layer is not enough. You need an EOF substitute. Cayenne team is currently working on a Tapestry/Cayenne tutorial to demonstrate a "full" solution.
