What is Apache Tapestry
Apache Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic,
robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Tapestry complements
and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any
servlet container or application server.
Tapestry divides a web
application into a set of pages, each constructed from components. This
provides a consistent structure, allowing the Tapestry framework to
assume responsibility for key concerns such as URL construction and
dispatch, persistent state storage on the client or on the server, user
input validation, localization/internationalization, and exception
reporting. Developing Tapestry applications involves creating HTML
templates using plain HTML, and combining the templates with small
amounts of Java code. In Tapestry, you create your application in terms
of objects, and the methods and properties of those objects -- and
specifically not in terms of URLs and query parameters. Tapestry brings
true object oriented development to Java web applications.
Tapestry
is specifically designed to make creating new components very easy, as
this is a routine approach when building applications.
Tapestry
is architected to scale from tiny, single-page applications all the way
up to massive applications consisting of hundreds of individual pages,
developed by large, diverse teams. Tapestry easily integrates with any
kind of backend, including JEE, Spring and Hibernate.
It's more than what you can do with Tapestry ... it's also how you do it! Tapestry is a vastly productive environment. Java developers love it because they can make Java code
changes and see them immediately ... no redeploy, no restart! And it's
blazingly fast to boot (even when files change). Designers love it
because Tapestry templates are so close to ordinary HTML, without all
the cruft and confusion seen in JavaServer Pages. Managers love it
because it makes it easy for large teams to work together, and because
they know important features (including localization) are baked right
in. Once you work in Tapestry there's no going back!
Tapestry is released under the Apache Software Licence 2.0.
