Tapestry...

[Programozas <pr...@hotmail.com>]

Hello!

I'd like to use Tapestry as the framework of our complex portal. Tapestry is missing some functionality, most of these (for us) important missing functions are submitted as feature requests.
But I feel that the development has been slowed down (correct me if I'm wrong).
Is there a real chance that the feature requests will be implemented in the near future?

Thanks,
Norbi

I didn't want to excite anybody, it was only a question.
I've been using Tapestry for small personal projects for a year. Now I'm
evaluating Tapestry for a big project, and somehow I have to decide which
framework to use.

I've talked to Manning about this possibility, and we'll see.  However, it
won't happen for at least a few more months.

And I'm not done yet!

There are a lot of feature requests; many will be accomplished in 2.4.  I've
been stabilizing and testing the code.  Also, I've been busy writing a book
on Tapestry for Manning.  I've been putting in more extensions to Tapestry
with an eye towards more dynamic applications; Portal applications in
particular.   I feel that Tapestry's general infrastructure is very well
suited for Portals; the dynamic way in which even an ordinary page is
assembled is ideal for Portals; what's missing is a pluggable way to define
pages and components that aren't available as files in the classpath (or in
the web app context).  In Tapestry, there are clear divisions between
templates and specifications and template files and specification files that
will cleanly allow for these kind of extensions.

Not at all!. Tapestry source code changed a lot between 2.3 and 2.4
versions. Howard added, refactored, and improved many features.
