Please direct Tapestry questions to the Tapestry mailing list. Thanks for your interest. The current manuals are not great (well, they're actually very good by open-source standards, but that's not saying much). A new and improved tutorial is in the work, and I'm adding features to make it much faster to get up and running using Tapestry.
You start with a Home page and work out from there. You'll need a servlet, configured in web.xml, typically mapped to "/app". Basically, start like any other web app, do some "storyboarding" to get the flow of the application, assign names to pages, and start putting things together. For Tapestry, think in terms of "dynamic HTML" and not in terms of "code I can insert into HTML" ... the latter is a JSP-ism. If any part of your HTML is dynamic, then you'll be using a component to generate that dynamic HTML. Don't despair .. there's a lot of help on the list and on the way (as new docs) ... and a lot to be gained by adopting the Tapestry way. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tapestry.sf.net > Howard: > I was drawn to Tapestry by a buddys web site and it > looked like something I could use to develop an > understanding of how some of these JSP environments > are implemented.
