Rapid Java Web Application Development with Tapestry

Rapid Java Web Application Development with Tapestry: "Introducing Tapestry
Tapestry is an open-source framework for object-oriented, component-based Java Web application development. Simply put, instead of dealing with the Servlet API or with Struts Actions, the Tapestry programmer stores user data with object properties and handles user actions with event-handling methods.

Another major feature of Tapestry is its use of HTML page templates. In Tapestry, each page is an HTML template containing browser-friendly HTML tags. Unlike JSP, JSTL, or JSF pages, creating Tapestry pages is relatively easy using common Web design tools, and you can preview them in a Web browser.

This article demonstrates a few of the main features of Tapestry, and shows how Tapestry 4, released in December 2005, makes things even easier than previous versions. "
