Information about Tapestry is needed

[Alexander Kolesnikov <al...@galactica.ru>]

Hello everyone,

I've chosen a topic for my MSc dissertation "Enterprise application 
development using Jakarta Tapestry". I've got some initial understanding 
about what is Tapestry from the Jakarta.apache.org website as also from 
the introduction to the Howard's book (which I've got). And this is 
exactly why I have chosen the topic.

However, the work in my university is organized in such a way that 
although the dissertation term will start only in September, and I was 
going to begin the intensive study of Tapestry in the Summer, I have to 
produce the preliminary proposal for my dissertation by the 14th of 
April. And for it to be convincing I want to have a good general 
understanding of the framework as soon as possible. I am reading the 
"Tapestry in Action", of course, but due to numerous distractions of the 
current period of my life it is unlikely that I will complete it by the 
deadline.

So: the question is: could you point me to some source of information 
which could give in a consize and general form the description of 
possibilities which Tapestry gives, some examples showing its benefits, 
preferably in comparison with other existing Web development frameworks?

I don't understand, Alexander: how did you choose your topic if you need 
a basic introduction to it?
What do you plan to focus on in the scope of your thesis? Tapestry in 
general, some aspect of it, a comparison against the competition, or 
something else?
I'm bursting with questions as I'm having some difficulty setting the 
boundaries of my own MSc thesis. I'm obviously curios to hear how it's 
done elsewhere. :)
BTW, you might consider looking at some or all of the following to help 
you define a proposal:
- http://tapestry.sf.net/Tapestry-WebTech.pdf
- http://dorffweb.com/bin/TapestryTutorial-1.0.3.pdf

Hope that's at least part of what you're looking for.
