Thank you Howard. I've been developing a very large tapestry app over the last year (with tapestry 3.3) and I rewrote some of the internals of tapestry because it was not extensible enough for what I was doing. Some of the work I did with the tapestry source was making it support multiple sites per web app, and as such I needed to separate some context and add the ability to support different page templates per site. I was curious about the locale/engine issue because I wanted to know if I would see any benefit pooling engines per template group. However, it appears that the engines all share the same pools anyways. You did a great job with 4.0. I think you ended up adding most of the features I originally started hacking the source for in the first place (url/form persisted properties, friendly urls, etc). I look forward to moving my app over to the new release when I have time as well as seeing the rewind cycle removed. Kris

It's something of a remanant from Tapestry 3 and earlier. At one time, it was useful, because you would often subclass BaseEngine in a Tapestry application. Nowadays, that's not a good solution, as you can change behavior using HiveMind instead.
