Hi,

I am a newbie in Tapestry. Our organization is going to build a large scale
web application in 3 months time and me together with 2 other developers
have been asked to research and come up with a good web framework to use.
I suggested Tapestry but almost all the developers on our team rejected it
outright with reasons such as incompatibility issues with any major Tapestry
release, very bad documentation and no professionally written books on
tapestry. I googled and also learnt there is Tapestry 6 in the works which
would also be a whole new beast not compatible with all previous Tapestry
versions. Why this at all? I also hear Tapestry 5 has it's own built-in IoC
container. Is this necessary for a webframework? Isn't it an overkill, or in
otherwords an over engineered piece of software?
I learnt Wicket is an excellent web framework with a very good support plus
an active mailing list. From the way I'm seeing things, my team is gradually
leaning towards Wicket. Can someone here offer me an unbiased comparison of
Tapestry and Wicket I may use to change my team's mind?

Thanks,

Rob
