Petite? Is that you? :-) You will have no trouble hitting the ground running with tapestry. My experiences so far have been extremely pleasant.
The previous posts on this thread do a great job explaining the design differences and how objects in the tapestry framework compare to object in WOF. There are a few concepts in tapestry that are completely new to WO developers. So far these have been the differences that have stuck out for me: -session/visit creation, and when and how it happens -page pooling and concept of detaching instance variables from components and pages -components binding files have .jwc extension, pages have .page extension -session attribute objects must implement Serializable. -tapestry's steps of page rendering and where to initialize stuff. >From a component perspective, tapestry and WOF are very similar. Spend a little time browsing the component reference. Once you map out the naming differences, you will find everything you need (...except a switch component, which was mentioned earlier). It doesn't take very long to appreciate the productivity benefits of tapestry. Try using struts on a project (as I have). I'm not trying to knock struts. I suppose it's better than nothing. But, implementing the simple things that we took for granted using WO is brutally sobering. I think many people are looking for a top-to-bottom WO like solution. So far the combination of technologies I've been playing with has been a close match (eclipse/ant/tapestry/cayenne). Good stuff.
