Now let's have a look at
the contents of the project just created. Refer to the following screenshot:
As you can see, there is plenty of everything. Note the items that will be most
important for us in the beginning.
First of all, there are two subdirectories under \t5first??”\src and \target.
Creating Your Working Environment
[ 26 ]
The \src subdirectory, as you can guess, contains the source code of the application,
including Java files, template files, and the standard deployment descriptor, web.
xml (if you are new to Java web applications' terminology, please read Appendix A,
which provides an overview of the most essential concepts).
Note that there are two files with the name Start, but with different extensions. The
Start.java source file is located in \main\java subdirectory, under the structure of
subdirectories reflecting its package name (com.packtpub.t5first.pages), while the
Start.tml file is located in the \main\webapp subdirectory. These are two parts of
the same Tapestry page, and this sort of duality will be discussed properly in the
next chapter.
There is actually more than one copy of the Start.tml file in the contents of
these directories because Maven did its work in two steps.
