Tapestry Fans,
I've been tinkering with Tapestry a little bit off and on but am still
pretty much a complete newbie.
In the past I've tried a few other Java frameworks, but a framework that
requires more lines of XML configuration than lines of source code never
made any sense to me.
I've also tinkered a bit with various "script" based frameworks like Ruby
on Rails and Django. At the moment I have two websites I act as webmaster
for. My personal web site is currently a mixture of PHP and PSP(Pascal
Server Pages). Actually I think PSP is now known as PWU - Pascal Web
Units. The second is a local canine agility group's web site which is
currently Django based. I'm considering converting both to Tapestry.
In the past I purchased the PDF version of Enjoying Web Development with
Tapestry and went through part of it with Tapestry 4. That was quite a
while back and don't really remember any of it, which is probably a good
thing considering how different Tapestry 5 is.
I've gone through the Tapestry 5 tutorial a few times and was thrilled to
recently discover it now has some database examples. The last page of the
tutorial says:
... but Tapestry and this tutorial are a work in progress, so stay
patient, and check out the other Tapestry tutorials and resources
available on the Tapestry 5 home page.
I checked the Tapestry 5 home page but couldn't find any other tutorials.
I'm anxiously awaiting other tutorials and/or additional sections of the
current tutorial.
I purchased "Tapestry 5: Building Web Applications: A step-by-step guide
to Java Web development with the developer-friendly Apache Tapestry
framework" when I first heard about it but was underwhelmed, especially
with it's lack of database examples. Now that the tutorial has got me
going with some database examples, I'm taking another look at that book.
Will all the examples in the book work with the current version of
Tapestry 5 or are there any changes I should be aware of? Are there any
other Tapestry 5 books available now or in the near future?
Where can I find some relational database examples? I think I came across
a couple of entity examples with annotations along the line of
@ManyToMany, @OneToMany, etc., in the documentation section of the
Tapestry web site but I'm now having trouble finding them again.
Can the grid component handle hierarchical data? For example, the brags
page on WAG's website currently looks something like:
http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org/WAG/Brags/
which is pulling data from three different tables. The Members page
currently looks like:
http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org/WAG/Members/
It's currently a static page but I'm planning to move everything into the
database, which will also involve a few tables. If the grid component can
handle hierarchical data, can someone point me towards some examples?
