Hello guys, I just began to play with Scala ( http://www.scala-lang.org/index.html ), a functional, full-OO programming language that run on top of the JVM.
And you know what ? I attempt to build a page in Scala for Tapestry 5, and it works ! Scala allows to import Java class and use annotation, so I think that we could use Tapestry 5 full power with Scala. So, for whose of you who are tired of Java as a language and want to explore new paradigm, but think that OCaml, Haskell or Erlang are just a little to cryptic, go for Scala on Tapestry 5 :) Here an example of the page built (I'm really new to Scala, so the code may be totally not idiomatic), but it's just to show that it works : ----- Start.html 8<--------------------------------------------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd"> <head> <title>Scala w/ Tapestry 5</title> </head> <body> <h1>Test Scala Start Page</h1> <p>The value is incremented in setup: ${mysetupvalue}</p> <p>The current time is: ${currentTime}. </p> <p>[<t:pagelink t:page="start">refresh</t:pagelink>]</p> <t:form> <t:textfield value="myvalue" /><t:submit /> </t:form> </body> </html> 8<--------------------------------------------------------------------- Start.scala 8<--------------------------------------------------------------------- package example.pages; import java.util.Date import org.apache.tapestry.annotations._ class Start { def getCurrentTime : String = { return new Date().toString(); } @SetupRender def setup() { mysetupvalue += 1; } @Persist private var mysetupvalue : Int = _; def getMysetupvalue() : Int = { return mysetupvalue; } @Persist private var myvalue : String = _; def getMyvalue() : String = { return myvalue; } def setMyvalue(s : String) { myvalue = s; } } 8<--------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a nice play ! -- Francois Armand Etudes & Développements J2EE LINAGORA SA - http://www.linagora.com Tél.: +33 (0)1 58 18 68 28 ----------- InterLDAP - http://interldap.org FederID - http://www.federid.org/ Open Source identities management and federation --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
