I spent the last couple of days upgrading AppFuse from Tapestry 3.0.3 to Tapestry 4.0.1. I ran into quite a few issues, many of which were solved by this mailing list. Thanks for being so responsive and helping me out - the Tapestry mailing list is definitely one of the best I've ever worked with.
I do have a few issues that I couldn't solve and I'm hoping you can help: 1. When a user's session expires, a page is displayed to the user. I'm using Acegi Security and I'd prefer the behavior that I get from other web frameworks - which basically prompt the user to login again. What I've done to workaround this issue is to use URL Rewrite Filter to redirect restart.svc to / - which will prompt users to login again. 2. I've noticed that users can access the mainMenu (home) of my app by using /app. Does there need to be a servlet mapping for /app? I've tried using Acegi and URL Rewrite Filter to protect /app, but nothing seems to work. Of course, it was 3 a.m. when I was trying to do this. ;-) 3. I found I needed to inject HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse when I wanted to grab cookies and send redirects. Is there a better way to do this? WebRequest and WebResponse don't seem to support cookies or redirects (for example: getResponse().sendRedirect(getRequest().getContextPath());). 4. Friendly URLs: I like how I don't have to hack the code to get Friendly URLs. However, I found that having to map *.html, *.sdirect, *.direct and *.svc to be somewhat of a pain - especially when integrating with Acegi. Since Acegi is URL-based, if I want to really lock down security, I have to have duplicate definitions for many of the different extensions (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, when it comes to filters, it can be quite cumbersome to register 5 mappings per filter. I have 7 filters and I don't want to need 35 mappings. Of course, I don't need to map them all for all the extensions, but Tapestry's Friendly URL support is much less friendly than the other frameworks that use only one extension. 5. Is it possible to redirect back to the same page? Basically, I want to use Tapestry-Flash, call setMessage() on the page I'm working in, and then somehow redirect to it so the redirect-after-post pattern is in place.
