08 December 2005 - Jakarta Tapestry 4.0-rc-1 Now Available

The first release candidate for Jakarta Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse.

This release fixes a number of minor bugs and a major bug that caused Tapestry to be unusable in portlets. Documentation was improved, and a new section of documentation for Tapestry JavaScript templates was added. In addition, a few last-minute features were slipped in: the default binding prefix can now be set (overriding the default, "ognl") and the stategy used by Tapestry to localizes assets and resources is now pluggable and extendable.

A full listing of bug fixes is available in the change log.

Tapestry is provided as a combined binary/source distribution, and a separate documentation distribution.

Project Info -- Apache Tapestry

Apache Tapestry is a component-based web application framework, written in Java. Tapestry is more than a simple templating system; Tapestry builds on the Java Servlet API to build a platform for creating dynamic, interactive web sites. More than just another templating language, Tapestry is a real framework for building complex applications from simple, reusable components. Tapestry offloads much of the error-prone work in creating web applications into the framework itself, taking over mundane tasks such as dispatching incoming requests, constructing and interpretting URLs encoded with information, handling localization and internationalization and much more besides.
