Tapestry is ... a web framework for Java Tapestry applications are written in Java, the most popular enterprise applications development language. Tapestry combines simple Java classes with straight-forward templates to form components and pages and takes care of all the "ugly plumbing" of a typical web application. Tapestry embraces convention over configuration, which means no XML configuration.
Tapestry is ... component based Tapestry applications consist of pages and components. Components are easy to write, and hook together easily ... components can contain other components. Tapestry always has an overall map of your application, because it knows all the pages and all the components within the pages ... this lets Tapestry do all the "dirty plumbing" of web application development. Tapestry is ... scalable Tapestry works well for everything from a lone developer working on an application with just a couple of pages, all the way up to large teams and applications with hundreds of pages and custom components. For big teams, Tapestry's pages and components design keeps the efforts of different developers automatically integrated.
