Excellent summary. Long time ago I started using Tapestry in this fashion with IDEA and quickly realized how convenient it is. I would also add that I use DreamWeaver to develop HTML for components and pages all the time. Tapestry is the only tool that allow me to collaborate on HTML with users/designers and then just use the HTML without recoding it. I always shiver when I have to get something done with JSF, JSP, and PHP Ron Piterman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I was quite "afraid" leaving spindle and moving on to tapestry 4 - it is such a great tool - but in the time since I addopted some practices which make my life really not so difficult - so I decided to share them here - maybe the one or other can benefit:
1. I Start with the html - desing the component roughly. 1.a) in the html I use only jwcid="someComponentId" 1.b) that I shouldn't write, but I write it anyway: use good names and conventions for component ids : things like "ifUserLoggedIn" and "iterateItems" 2. I move on to the .jwc/.page 2.a) I use a splitted editor : on top the html, on the bottom the .jwc (or the other way around ;-) ) 2.b) in the jwc/page file I declare all my components, and components *only*. 2.c) I use all bindings as direct properties, when using ognl, to minimize the use of reflection. later I can refactor to use HLS's prop: prefix easily. 3. Now the java class: 3.a) open a splitted editor: on top java, on bottom the jwc, go through the jwc and resolve all java dependencies, all properties, aso, in order of apearance. 3.b) use annotations for properties and parameters. Its somehow doctrine but makes my life very simple... Hope tat helps until Spindle 4.0 is there :) Cheers, Ron Cui, Fanzhe wrote: > According the Spindle web site, it seems the current version of Spindle > supports Tapestry 3.
