new tapestry success story
Hi all. I wanted to send a little note to announce that the Tree of
Life Web Project (http://tolweb.org) has launched our new design and
correspondingly new Tapestry underpinnings. Along the way we've also
used tapestry to design tools for educational and photographic
contributions to the site. It has been a lot of fun to work with and
the code is much more manageable than our old perl system used to be!
There are still a few kinks to work out but things appear to be mostly
stable so far, and quite fast. I will say that was my main concern when
switching over to any Java-based system from the old perl. Except for
the regular expression handling (where perl still kicks major butt),
everything has been quite up to speed and much easier to work with.
So, thanks for all the help and the great framework!
Danny

Wow! Huge congratulations, Danny my friend.
Regular expressions? I presume you use it for some kind of searching?
Hmm, maybe not, you're delegating to Google for that (geez :) Just use
Lucene - you know you need it!

Congrats Danny! Been waiting to hear this announcement for a while.
Any custom components you'll be able to share with the community?

Right now we are just using mod_rewrite to redirect to an external
page. (It was easier to modify our old mod_rewrite stuff than to
attempt to integrate the FriendlyUrls patch, but I'm looking forward to
playing with that in 3.1).
