Andy, you should take a look at tapestry jumpstart by geoff callender:
http://files.doublenegative.com.au/jumpstart/
I only wish there were a demo server of this somewhere because the
webapp itself will show its template + class in the browser.

Hi there, I'm evaluating Tapestry (among others) for the web
framework we'll
use at my company for the next 5 years or so. We've used Struts 1
for the
last 5-6 years and it's served us well, even if it was higher
maintenance
than was first apparent. I have spent over two days reading about
Tapestry
history and general thoughts about past and future which has proved
rather
distracting. I'm really not sure whether I should evaluate 4.1 or 5
because
the documentation and intro/tutorial material isn't ready yet for 5
and I'm
completely new to component oriented frameworks. If I evaluated 4.1,
would
that be valid for us still to go on to use 5? It's really hard to
get a
handle on the differences of two things you don't yet understand!
I have three (more specific) questions:
1) What methods are known for implementing webpage templates in
Tapestry
(e.g. banner, nav, sidebar, content, footer) and is there one
considered
'best practice'?
2) How easy is it to add custom AJAX interactions? I'm thinking of
interactions like checking a checkbox to mark a search result, return
success and visually change the appearance.
3) Is it practical to have base classes containing common
functionality,
which are extended by very terse page classes along with actual page
templates or am I thinking about this wrong?
With the only T5 examples being so trivial, it's really hard to get
a bigger
picture view at the moment, but I am very intrigued.
