As web applications become more and more popular it becomes obvious
that a more efficient, higher level approach to web development is needed.
Introduction to Tapestry
[ 8 ]
Nowadays, several solutions are offered to solve this problem on different software
development platforms. In the world of Java, the most efficient and elegant solution
is presented by Apache Tapestry. Tapestry is an open-source Java web framework,
conceived by Howard Lewis Ship and currently developed by a team of devoted
Java pundits from around the world.
Why is Tapestry Special?
Tapestry is an example of a framework that was created keeping the developer
in mind.
First of all, its paradigm is very close to that of the RAD environment. A button on
the Tapestry page has an event handler method associated with it in a declarative
way, and the method is invoked when the button is pressed. The Tapestry web
developer doesn't need to remember that the button on the page in a user's web
browser and the code of the event handler method on the web server can be
thousands miles apart, and doesn't need to care about which communication
protocol is being used.
This natural approach makes Tapestry significantly easier to learn than any other
web development framework, and it makes the process of development much more
efficient.
