Hi Guys,
Hi!
Bumped into this post at
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=59510#332651 and
was wondering the validity of the poster's comments. Is this not a bad
press for Tapestry?
Here's the post, written by Jan de Jonge:
"Yet another area where Wicket shines in the Web framework arena. The last
time I checked Tapestry was doing very, very badly in this area. Even
performance was a very serious issue in the latest Tapestry 5 release.
Many companies I know that have used Tapestry in their last projects are
ruling it out completely for future projects. It's sad Tapestry is dying
this way. It was once a very good framework that I loved."
Tapestry 5 never had performance problems. 5.1 even had a performance
improvement. And Tapestry is not dying. Just check the amount of messages
in the mailing lists, including the ones announcing public websites
written on it and the messages by new people.
Jan de Jonge is a guy that trolls Tapestry in TheServerSide for *years*,
even when the topic is not about it. The first Google hit for "jan de
jonge tapestry" is a blog post by Eelco Hillenius, one of the Wicket
committers, from 2007:
"http://chillenious.wordpress.com/2007/02/06/is-there-a-wicket-tapestry-feud/";
(seems to be down now, here's the cached version:
http://64.233.163.132/search?q=cache:XTghPGmyIywJ:chillenious.wordpress.com/2007/02/06/is-there-a-wicket-tapestry-feud/+%22Jan+de+Jonge%22+java&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=opera).
The posts ssays "Take ‘Jan de Jonge’, the guy the started the flaming in
several threads. (...)". In the comments, Jan de Jonge says "My colleagues
and I are developing an in-house web framework (...) I don’t and have
NEVER used any of these frameworks except some little playing with both."
Yet, in the TheServerSide post above, he says "It was once a very good
framework that I loved.".
Summary: Jan de Jorge is a guy who trolls Tapestry with no knowledge about
it.
The above message, for example, is about Wicket itself. No need for
mentioning any other framework.
By the way, Tapestry has cluster support built-in: take a look at the
"Clustering Issues" session in
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/guide/persist.html.
