Yep, I haven't figured out the documentation angle. I'm thinking in terms of a Maven plugin to generate the component documentation directly from the source code & annotations & javadoc.
One advantage is that you have the source and the core components are in org.apache.tapestry.corelib.components (effectively, by definition, they can't live elsewhere). The documentation is, yes, mostly conceptual/brain dump (but it does exist!). I have a start on a tutorial but I may be shifting gears to have the tutorials up on DeveloperWorks. That's stil in an early negotation stage. As a last resort, the test suite shows how a lot of things work. On 2/14/07, D&J Gredler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've been trying it out over the past week or so, and my impression of the documentation is that it's a brain dump of how things work in general, but when you get down to basic questions like "is there a label component? if so, how does it work? is there a select component? if so, how does it work?" you end up having to go to google and search along the lines of "label site: tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5". I like what comes out once you figure out how things work, though. The one other thing I've had trouble with is contributing to the application configuration... I have a search page which I want to render sometimes even when the URL doesn't contain the page name, and I had to do some major digging into the internal configuration to figure out how to do it. What I ended up with made heavy use of internal Tapestry classes, so this seems like an area that may not yet be complete. Overall it reminds me of Maven 2 at this point... slightly aggravating to figure out at first, but possibly a time saver in the long run.
