Hi,
it's been a while since I last used Tapestry. My last couple of projects
were based on Wicket, simply because that's what the customer wanted. I
prefer Tapestry myself and I've just started looking at Tapestry 5. It
looks very promising so far. The only real annoyance for me is the fact
that I have to use the .tml extension for my templates.
I've read the discussions on it and I understand where it comes from.
But the reason I've been able to use Tapestry for some big projects has
been the simple fact that I can seamlessly use templates sent to my by
external web designers and if changes need to be made to those files,
those designers can do it with the Tapestry jwcid's still in it (the
HTML is always kept as close to the original as possible).
All external web designers deliver xhtml files with an html extension or
xhtml extension. It is annoying to have to rename all those files just
to be able to use them. In practice this will also mean having to rename
them back before the designers can update those files, since we might
have a different designers for each updates or project and training them
will probably take longer than renaming the files.
Also the html may contain links to static html pages like helpfiles. In
essence renaming the files means we also have to change those links
inside the markup every time. This gets in the way of productivity and
could introduces errors.
It would really help me if I could just configure Tapestry to support
the .html extension again instead of the .tml extension.
Is this possible or planned for a future release?
Regards,
Onno
