Well put! Component reuse is a big reason to use Tapestry. We already have to have two different flavors of components on the Tassel site; one for T3 and one for T4. Are those folks going to have to completely rewrite their components for T5 and put them back out there, thus creating 3 different versions to maintain?

On the other hand tapestry provides us the the ability to re-use components. If we want to write new applications in Tapestry5 do we throw away all our old components and lose their value? Or do we go to the expense of migrating them and writing new ones? For the people who are stuck requiring support for product which is likely to be ending its life the choice will be a stark one, not whether to upgrade to Tapestry 5, but what framework to migrate to. I would predict that most of the people who see their investment in components become increasingly worthless will have little loyalty left and will plump for something which is more likely to protect their investment, no matter what the technical limitations are. Look out for people offering a Tapestry4 to JSF migration path. d. **************************************************************************** *************************** The information in this e-mail is confidential and for use by the addressee(s) only.
