My story: I have been very satisfied Tapestry 3 used and T3 has helped tremendously with building applications in the past.
Then I was busy doing other things although keeping eye on T and recently I needed to build a live prototype quickly, naturally my first reaction was to pick up Dreamweaver and try Tapestry 5. T5 is amazingly good BUT I needed Ajax support and at this moment Wicket makes leaps and bounds around T5 in this area. So I abandoned T5 and started using Wicket - so far I am very satisfied with it although worry if Wicket is production grade for high traffic sites because of its heavy use of HttpSession as storage. So for now I will use Wicket for prototyping and small apps and keep my eye on T5. T4 is no-go for me - I am too lazy --- Chris Chiappone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A colleague of mine and I had a discussion about > this because he was > sorting through new frameworks to use for a new > project.
