A couple of good blog posts Here's a couple of good blog entries I've enjoyed reading over the past few days - in case you missed them:

Warner is spot on when it comes to Tapestry's biggest problem. Let's hope Tapestry 5 is the end-all-be-all that Howard thinks it will be. As for Gavin's post, I like it because it's mostly true and the f-bomb makes it enjoyable to read. ;-) Posted in Java at May 24 2007, 09:50:37 AM MDT 5 Comments

Matt, what is your opinion of Tapestry 5, both the web framework and the IoC container? I'm playing with both lately and I'm loving it. :)

I've watched the screencasts that Howard has put together and I'm certainly intrigued. However, I don't believe it's as revolutionary as Howard thinks it is. Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong. As soon as it reaches release candidate status, I plan on upgrading AppFuse and AppFuse Light. Hopefully there's some sort of migration documentation. If not, I guess I'll be creating it. ;-)

I strongly suggest you to take a quick look at it. There's a Maven archetype that creates a bare-bones but useable Tapestry 5 application at http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/quickstart/. People on the Tapestry users list are strongly interested in Tapestry 5 Core (the web framework), and I'm with them. On the other hand, Tapestry 5 IoC has some very good ideas and has even learned from Guice how to simplify some things about dependency injection. I wrote a working Hibernate-Tapestry-IoC integration module that does the same that the Spring one does in less than 10 hours, but simpler to use. I'm going to release it at http://tapestry-mine.sourceforge.net soon.

"They need to stop treating a legacy schema as some immutable holy text handed down by God. " - Gavin
That is an awesome quote, I'm currently working with a legacy database and understand exactly where this quote comes from! Thanks for that, it was a good read.

Didn't know where else to post it: the Nabble registration function doesn't work on appfuse.org Just thought I'd let you know.
