All good things must come to an end; alas, my work for The Middleware Company is rapidly drawing to a close, as part of the overall picture with the sale of TMC to TechTarget. That is unfortunate, because the Tapestry conversion of theserverside.com, while quite successful for all involved, was only the opening moves in a longer game that may not be played.
I was hoping that I could continue as I have for the last few months: working from home on TSS, speaking at JUGS and conferences, and building up a nest egg/warchest. I'm now back to doing things I should have been actively doing for the past few months ... calling back my contacts and working to find new ones.
So let's be clear ... if you are starting a Java web application project, you should be using Tapestry. It's just going to save you an awful lot of grief and worry. If you need help getting started, need professional support, or need an authoritative voice to help you convince your management (or all three at the same time) ... well folks, that's what I do for a living.

ReplyDeleteI finally decided to give Tapestry a try, downloaded 3.0.1 and tried running Workbench example. It is so slooow! ( 2000+ 512 MB) even switching between tabs is slow (takes 2-3 seconds). Very discouraging.
Any comments?
My apologies, the slowness issue has nothing to do with Tapestry itself.
ReplyDeleteWorkbench demonstrates lightning speed in IE on WinXP, but
Workbench is very slow for every click on Firefow 1.0 Linux :(, and noticeably slower in Firefox on WinXP.
By saying 'very slow' I meant that switching between tabs happens in approximately 0.8 second in Firefox Linux, 0.5 seconds Firefox on Win, and IE gives impression of instant update.

And 'so slooow!' + being mentally slow = 'very slow'
Please go post this crap on TSS or your own blog, but not here. Thanks.
Further clarification: yes it is 2-3 sec on my Home comp 2000+/512MB Firefox 1.0RC1 Suse 9.1 kernel 2.6;
ReplyDelete- 0.8 sec is on P4-2.8/1024MB Firefox 1.0 Suse 9.1 kernel 2.6;
