A colleague of mine and I had a discussion about this because he was sorting through new frameworks to use for a new project. I have been using Tapestry since v3 and wanted him to give it a try. Unfotunately he ended up picking Wicket because of the fear that Tapestry has issues with backward compatibility. I am now wondering if I made the right choice in choosing tapestry for my applications. He built his application quickly and it is impressive using Wickets built in AJAX components. Upgrading in Tapestry has been a pain going from 3 - 4 and obviously 5 isn't even possible. I wish I could have choose tap 5 for my latest project but it was too beta and doesn't play well with other frameworks, ie a large legacy app with a Struts like framework.
Anyway its a hard decision, they both have plus' and minus' ~chris On 8/22/07, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Alex, > > > > I would say Tapestry 5 wins the challenge unless you plane to use T4. > > Tapestry 5 uses annotations, and this is a very important advanced feature > in Java.
