+            Developers will often differ on exactly what percentage of statistics 
+            are made up, but one thing they can usually agree on is that for the 
+            last year or so, the main push in the web development community has been 
+            to reduce repetition and enhance productivity by providing fast prototyping 
+            tools that are extensible enough to be deployed into production. These 
+            frameworks aim to make the simple things automatic (rather than just easy), 
+            and the complex things easy (rather than just possible).

+        <p>
+            Tapestry pages and components are powerful and simple to write, but edit pages 
+            often comprise of hundreds of lines of mindless, repetitive, runtime-checked 
+            code. There's nothing special about it, but it has to get done. If only you 
+            could get the computer to do the boring part for you, so you could focus your 
+            attention on the more important, interesting parts of your application. Now you can.

+            <a href="http://beanform.sourceforge.net">BeanForm</a> is a single-line POJO editor 
+            component that allows you to condense these hundreds of lines into a DRY utopia of 
+            efficiency. It builds edit forms for your objects automatically, using bean introspection 
+            to discover their properties. It adapts input field types to property types, disables 
+            input fields for read-only 
+            properties, infers validation strings automatically based on EJB3 and Hibernate 
+            Validator annotations, allows you to override input fields on a per-property 
+            basis, allows the use of recursive properties, and is eminently flexible and 
+            extensible. <a href="http://beanform.sourceforge.net">Try it today!</a>
