How coooooooooool is this !!!

[Gunnar Eketrapp <gu...@gmail.com>]

Hi all!

I started fresh with T5 about a week ago and have some weeks in order to
transfer a huge existing JSP/Spring-MVC solution to T5.

The site is a poker site with over 100 pages (most of them dynamic) in 4
different languages. There is a lot of admin pages and quite complex
shares and commissioning support pages. I.e. players earn shares by playing
and by refering other players. On top of this we have the
integration with the poker network.

We are upgrading the look and feel of the site completely plus adding casino
and academy functions.

I felt that it should be hard to develop/support the site without upgrading
the technology so I decided to give T5 a shot.
In the same time I upgraded MySql, Hibernate, Spring, Debian. CVS to SVN.
Ant to Mvn. And so on ...

Of course I have undertaken a much too big job and the risk is huge! But
what the heck! Hacking has never ever been so fun!
Let's get fired in style!

T5 is my friend and I am very very much in love with the error page. The
time that is saved by those lovely precise and concise error messages is
uncountable!

If and when i succeed i promise to produce a report on the winnings by
moving from the jsp/spring-mvc kludge.

The TapestrySpringFilter let me access all of the existing spring beans with
just a simple @Inject annotation. And it just works!

My eyes are bleeding with jsp infection but my heart is full of T5 hope !

Wish me luck!

Great Work Folks!

I really like your thinking. No risk no fun...

I really love this paragraph. If I had a quote in my e-mail signature, it  
would be the "Let's get fired in style!". :)

When working at my last employer (I'm self-employed now), I proposed using  
Tapestry 5 in projects (one small, in house, starting with T5.0.5, and a  
large one for a local government as the client) and took all the  
responsibility for the use of it. Tapestry 5 was a huge success. :)

Please post your success story in  
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/SuccessStories. Frequently, people in this  
list (myself included) ask for success stories so they can convince  
management that using Tapestry is not risky, as it isn't one of the most  
used frameworks out there (even being the best, IMHO).

That's really wonderful. No matter who created and controls a given  
bean/service, you can inject it in exactly the same way.

That's a little bit of good nerd poetry. :P

Great to hear about your technological metamorphosis!  Let me know
when you make a new Mafia Wars type app. =)
And don't forget to lock down your app, security-wise.
