Hi,
Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't state that it **is** a separate
module - which is precisely my point. Spring is so ubiquitous now that
it would not be a wild assumption that Tapestry would come with Spring
support out of the box. I think its reasonable enough to have Spring as
a 'second' option to Tapestry IOC, if that is Howard's preference, but
my point is the documentation (I followed the 'snippets' link on the
HowTo on the wiki) emphasises just how little effort it takes to
incorporate Spring - unfortunately it misses out some vital information
i.e. "This bit of code has dependencies" - it would not harm the
document to put the dependency markup right at the top.

It seems obvious to me that you need to add any self-contained module such
as tapestry-spring, tapestry-hibernate or tapestry-upload to your
application only if you use it.

Hi,
Just to say that I think the documentation here:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-spring/
needs updating.
Nowhere does it state that a dependency on tapestry-spring is needed in
pom.xml as such:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tapestry</groupId>
<artifactId>tapestry-spring</artifactId>
<version>${tapestry-release-version}</version>
</dependency>
I know this might seem obvious, but I for one assumed that this would
come with the Tapestry-core dependency files.
This cost me 3 hours with Tomcat "startup failed due to previous errors"
errors whenever spring was added to web.xml until I remembered to look
in the full tomcat log to find out what the problem was.
Perhaps the same sort of update is also needed for the file upload page
on the Tapestry web site as well.
Its probably difficult to decided what to do when half of users are
still downloading the full gzip file and the other half are doing this
stuff using Maven but I think this is definitely something worth adding.
