Tapestry or Cocoon
I need to develop an application web-based for hotel management
structured with a database (postgresql) and a separated business logic
(using java). What's the best choice between cocoon and tapestry ?

That is exactly what we thought. Until we started using for really
complex formas that is...
Now if we could have a service to include something generated by a
cocoon pipeline, then you could have the best of both world :-)

From what I've heard of Cocoon's form handling, it is quite slick
with a continuation-based JavaScript engine:

Cocoon is not a framework for interactive web development. It is sad that
the Cocoon team took a great and innovative request-response xml processing
framework and tried to turn it into yawf.

These are two very prowerful and complex web frameworks. The choice
mainly depends on what you want to achive and where you start form.
Cocoon is xml oriented and does everything using stylesheet processing.
I would say this is very useful for document oriented sites.
Tapestry is more programmer native with its component based approach. I
would say this is a much more practical framework for sites which
contains many forms.
We originally started our current project of building a thin client
application using Cocoon. Hiowever, development was very slow mainly
because xslt is difficult in complex cases, and we had many troubles
getting cocoon forms to behave as we wanted.
After some serious consideration, we moved to using Tapestry and have
been very happy about that. Development has been much faster and
smoother for us since.
However, this is the experience for our team, I can imagine you will get
just the reverse kind of comments from Cocoon followers.
Kind regards,
Joachim
