HAHA... This honestly sounds like words comming out of Satan's mouth...

Wait a minute, I've heard that somewhere... Needful Things by Steven King.

Any movie fans out there? Robbie is emerging as Leland Gaunt driving
that nice old black Mercedes into the quiet town of Castle Rock...

Leland Gaunt = Robbie Smelly Smeets
Town of Castle Rock, Maine = Tapestry Mailing List
.. and many more interesting similarities ...

I'm starting to like him !! This is becomming enteraining :)

 Oh, Jesse help me here. You wrote that you tend to delete my emails
 without
 reading them but you are obviously replying to one of them. Like those
 reading now, I'm smelling something fishy here. Or did your slave
 master
 Howard come to drag and force you to reply? It seems, like the other
 high
 profile users, you too are quietly dissapearing but Howard came to
 bribe you
 to come and show your face here because of the remark I made about you.
 That's sad. If you've quit Tapestry don't be shy to admit. Above all
 you'll
 be free from your master since he's been treating you like a slave for
 too
 long a time. And everyone here would rejoice a slave is finally set

Again,

will you back up any of your claims with something technical,
and stop whining ?

you are not a wicket user and you know too little about it
to comapre it to tapestry.

Why do you keep bringinng wicket up again, and again ?

Why don't you reply to any user mail to help, or ask for help
like real users ?

I'm would ignore you just like jesse,

Just very busy with work and playing video games.  (Tapestry has
improved my lifestyle in this area immensely )

I usually spend more time writing code and learning than communicating
with humans,  so it's easy to get lost in that sometimes.

  webframework, maybe Wicket, I'm not sure. This because they have a business
  model that looked forward into the future. Their model wasn't compatible

   Howard,
  
   Please stop throwing a dark blanket on me condemning me. Why not pick on
   the points I made head on and defend yourself? Wel,
   I'm not surprised you're not doing it because you are not destined to take
   challenges head on.
   Is it not true Tapestry's popularity has diminished over the last couple
   of years or so? Is it not true high profile users have
   fled away from Tapestry like flies. If you dispute this I can even name
   more names. That within 7 years you've
   trained only 100 developers says a lot about the status of Tapestry. I
   would have expected more than a 1,000 within the seven years,
   if you say Tapestry is one of the best. I know the mass used to follow
   Tapestry. But the unfortunate thing is at the release of
   any major version, you punch them hard in the stomach and then they flee
   from the schock and pain. At a point in time your
   ego became inflated to an explosive point. And as we all know, from any
   bubble there is a burst. That's why you're in the current
   state.
   The solution to all your current travails? Maybe you should rename
   Tapestry 5, to maybe Wicketstry, because it
   resembles Wicket so much. By doing so all the misery and the hooplas about
   backward incompatibilty would end and you'll have
   your peace of mind.
  
   Howard, I'm only a messenger and as the saying goes, don't persecute the
   messenger.
  
   Yours friendly,
  
   Rob

Re: AW: Getting Answers on the User List

2008-04-12 Thread Yura Tkachenko
There are so many interesting replies over here. As for me I found this list
is very interesting. This is a great place where you can find a lot useful
information. Also if you can ask right question definitely you can get right
answer which is great. Anyway as Java developer my first technology was JSF.
It was not an easy thing to use it especially when you don't have experience
in different Java technologies. But after that I had an opportunity to try
out Tapestry 4. After JSF it was not an easy framework. I mean at that time
I even didn't know what Inversion of Control means as the result it was very
hard to start. And later I had an opportunity to work with Spring (another
IoC) and some things become clear for me (I mean HiveMind concepts). Anyway
Tapestry 4 helped me understood better how JSF works. I know that for
someone it sounds strange but if you look at any book about Tapestry4 or T5
you will found that the first thing each author tried to explain how to pass
data from one page to another and how user can persist data on some page
(e.g. @Persist). In JSF it's a bit tricky since JSF by default don't include
such a useful thing but at the same time Myfaces Tomahawk provides
additional component which does this work. And a few months ago I tried to
use T5. What can I say it's amazing framework and you can build your
applications very easy. Most of all I like such things:
1) T5 allow user to modify Java classes (related to your T5 app) without
restarting app server.
2) No configuration stored in XML
3) Great error handling
4) Easy to create your own components.
Of course, there are a lot of things to enhance. JSF 2.0 will include many
T5 ideas is very great for T5. It is another proof that T5 is a great
framework to develop web applications. But there is one challenge for
beginners is that T5 is based on T5 IoC (which I personally think a good
marriage) as the result if you want to use full power of T5 you need to
understand IoC.

To Rob: I decided to highlight you because you are special person :-). If
you feel that Howard has an ego then try to avoid it. To be honest how you
can feel Howard's ego in this maillist. You can always ask right question
and get right answers and you will never hit Howard's ego. But I must tell
you if you don't know it yet that every person has an ego and even you :-).
But of course, if you are working with Howard (which I'm sure is not true)
then you have always an opportunity to be kind and respect Howard since he
really changed the world of Java Web Application Frameworks. In other words
stop this FUD.
