Tapestry5 future compatiblity?
Hi,
I am still deciding whether to choose Tapestry5 for my upcoming project. I
was reading a lot how each version of Tapestry isn't backward compatible
with older version and how migrating the code to new Tapestry is a
nightmare. I like Tapestry declaractive model but my priority in choosing a
framework is the ease of migrating to the newer version.
So is there any information on regards to whether Tapestry 6 being rehauled
again ? Is this the right time to step into Tapestry or should i wait till
near GA release?

Hi,
That's a good news, I have a 5.0.18 app waiting for that to upgrade.

Just search the archives for "Tapestry 6" and see what you find.
BTW, we're about to offer a stable release of 5.1 that adds huge new
features with (near) perfect backwards compatibility.

That agrees well with my T3-4-5 experience over the last five years. Once I
committed to T5, it wasn't as bad as I'd feared from all the mailing-list
discussion. (Note to self: The list is mainly about problems.) It felt
familiar, the "concepts translated well".
Getting accustomed to Maven and Jetty (both new to me) was more of a hump
than Tapestry. The quick-start tutorial worked well... getting that first
page running is a big help.

I also did the migration... developer time = money, so this is a very valid concern, but Tapestry 5 is worth it! You will gain in productivity in the long run. From 5 onwards backwards compatibility is to be maintained.

That depends on your situation / view of course, but let me mention that we have been very pleased with Tapestry 5, running in production for at least a year now, at first on snapshots (we took the chance), and have had no show-stoppers, in fact we found Tapestry 5 in general is very stable.

To say upgrading has been a "nightmare" would be an exaggeratuion.
My experience with several application upgrades, that I have taken part
in the past several years:
T3 -> T4
Was not that easy, but managable.
T4 -> T5
Done that for two apps. That was easy. We ended up writing some code
(component libraries) new, but that
was not that hard and time consuming, because many concepts used in T4
translate to T5 very well.

Thanks a lot for all the input folks. Putting aside my doubt for future
compatiblity for now, I think i might give Tapestry5 a try cause i found it
to be pretty straight forward especially when i come from J2EE, and Jboss
seam background.
And to say that i remember reading somewhere how Tapestry community isn't
active is such an understatement indeed. Howard himself is even the first
person to reply to this thread, i am impressed.

I recently migrated our application from 5.0 to 5.1 and it was mostly seamless. The issues were mostly bugs, which considering I was migrating to a pre-release version of 5.1 that's to be expected. It was worth it for the new stuff to us, and it also helped get 5.1 GA ready. (very close now I think) This app has had 9 developers working for a year so there's a lot there to migrate.

Tapestry 6 is not planned by Howard at all and I don't ever see the need for it. I would get the latest beta of T5.1 and jump right in. It's in a pretty solid state now.
Cheers,
Andy.
