Greetings...

Some topics seem like they would have been covered by now. Such was my
thinking when I received a proposal for an introductory Tapestry article.
Tapestry's been around for a while, so I did a quick search through our
articles and was surprised to find that we've never actually covered it on
ONJava. Being an Apache-based web app framework with many adherents and a
strong developer community, Tapestry obviously deserves more attention
both from us and from the Java community as a whole. So this week, we're
trying to make up for that oversight.

What's so great about Tapestry? "Tapestry offers advantages including a
high-performance coarse-grained pooling strategy, high code-reuse,
line-precise error reporting, and lots more. Tapestry applications can be
run on any servlet container since the apps are 100 percent container
agnostic. Adoption of the Tapestry framework eliminates writing servlets
and building URLs and query parameters to servlets, even though Tapestry
is built on top of the servlet API." Hemangini Kappla shows you how to
install and develop web apps with Tapestry in her introductory article,
"Tapestry: A Component-Centric Framework".

"You've decided to expand your horizons. You've been programming
exclusively in Java (or C++, or Perl, or Ruby) for a while now. You're
happy and productive, but you have this nagging feeling that you're
solving problems by rote rather than thinking as creatively as you once
did. Learning a new language, especially one that forces you to re-examine
some of your notions about software development, may be just the ticket."
Smalltalk is often argued to be the most object-oriented language ever
devised, and Keith Fieldhouse's "Smalltalk for Everyone Else" can help you
get started with it.

This week's feature article from java.net is on "Developing Applications
with Facelets, JSF, and JSP". "JavaServer Faces (JSF) along with Facelets
and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0+ promotes a new way of Java web
programming. This article introduces a rich list of useful tips to help
developers smoothly transition from the old-fashioned JSP/servlet
programming to the new JSF-style programming. It clarifies the issues and
confusion developers may encounter, and promotes best practices and
methodologies to simplify web development, improve code reuse, and make
source code more designer-friendly, as well as easy-to-maintain."
