Hi Neil, thanks for your description. I think, I'm just fall in love with Tapestry. It is has some similiar architecture with ZPT(Zope Page Template) by zope corporation (which is written in python).

It uses OGNL in order to get values from Java components, and stick them into the HTML page (this is a somewhat simplified explanation, but I hope you get the drift). Stuts I have little experience with - suffice to say that Tapesty and Struts are both "web frameworks". It's my opinion that Tapestry gives you more - but I suggest that if you want to find out what's best for you that you evaluate both on a single project (that is, try to accomplish your goal with both Tapestry and Struts and see what fits). The "really short summary" is that Tapestry allows you to create interactive web applications easily. If you think of it like "Swing for the Web" (hope you've had some experience with Swing, or this analogy won't make sense :-) then you're not too far wrong. Components that you create (or indeed those provided by the library itself) can be reused over any page. Pages are built with components. Everything is a component. If you want to see more, look at the existing tapestry tutorial, or visit http://tapestry-tutorial.cloudnine.net.nz (the later is a link to the *next* version of the tutorial - which is a work in progress).
