Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Jakarta-tapestry Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by BerndHeller: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-tapestry/SuccessStories The comment on the change is: added partnermine.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was primarily a one-man job; the bulk of the effort was dealing with the backlog of existing JSPs containing content (such as articles, interviews, and so forth). In many cases, these had to be converted into partial HTML files that are included as part of a Tapestry page. The client is completely thrilled by the end results, in terms of performance and the promise of vastly improved functionality. Expect to see more detailed reports on !TheServerSide.com. + + == partnermine.com == + + '''[http://partnermine.com/ partnermine.com]''' is a new dating site with the goal to stand out of the jungle of bad dating sites that are out there. Due to the nature of our very detailed user profiles and search engine we were faced with rather big HTML forms that even repeated in large parts on three or more pages. We started out with Struts because it sounded like the standard tool for the job, but it was such a pain, and the amount of duplicate and dumb glue code was just not standable. Maintainability would have been near to impossible without introducing errors. When we looked for alternatives Tapestry quickly became our favourite and soon after the winner, especially because of the brilliant component model that helped us to separate our pages into reusable parts, and we are well rid of duplicate code - we edit once and it changes everywhere. + + It took us maybe 3-4 weeks to get properly into Tapestry and convert all our old Struts code to Tapestry. It was quite a learning curve (though the Struts one wasn't exactly fun either) and threw us apparently(!!) back by a month. But I'm certain that in the end it helped us to reduce total development time. We have such a beautifully clean project now - and it's easily maintainable too! It's just a pleasure to work with it and I don't even want to think of the nightmares that Struts or similar frameworks would have given us if we had gone the full way with them. + + We are very happy with the efficiency and productivity Tapestry gives us, and feel that other frameworks would have required considerably more time and/or staff to accomplish what we have now. + + So, if you're in the process of evaluating what tool is the best for you, come to '''[http://partnermine.com/ partnermine.com]''', have a look around, and enjoy the wonderful world of Tapestry. == Intellidos Limited == --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
