Well, there are some bits and pieces missing to make that feasible. Most notably an easy skinning support, core ability to draw templates from arbitrary locations and some standard components which belong into the core IMO like for example a standard login/security/user management system, a standard messaging/email component... in effect about the things which are also offered by GAE as services.
If you build high level components on the raw framework you'll run into compatibility and interoperability issues otherwise. With standard components, which about 75-80% of all webapps need, built into the core framework it would be easier to write components which work for most cases out of the box and leave customization to people who really need it and who know what they are doing. As it is, you can easily build low level components for others like the chenillekit-ui components, but for high level, albeit standard stuff like a simple blog, you are on your own. Grails' success comes mostly from the rich ecosystem of plugins (and Gorm) which _mostly_ interoperate just fine. To achieve the same in Tapestry is not possible in the way they do it there, but it should be possible to come near enough when there are some well defined interfaces where you can plug in your components. But this is a lot of work of course and thus will probably not happen anytime soon. 2009/6/8 Sven Homburg <hombu...@googlemail.com> > you have my full aggreement, but its up to you and all other tapestry > users, > > to contribute your code to the community. > > please feel free to send us (chenillekit project team) your components, > so we can implement them into the library. > > with regards > Sven Homburg > Founder of the Chenille Kit Project > http://www.chenillekit.org > > > > > 2009/6/8 Otho <taa...@googlemail.com> > > > It's the lack of well documented high level components and plugins which > > slows Tapestries way to inevitable world dominiation down a bit... > > > > > > > > 2009/6/8 Sven Homburg <hombu...@googlemail.com> > > > > Its seem to me, that you are looking for a whole blog/wiki/chat module. > >> If so, i think you must code by yourself .... and much better, you give > >> the > >> result > >> back to the comminity ;-) > >> > >> > >> with regards > >> Sven Homburg > >> Founder of the Chenille Kit Project > >> http://www.chenillekit.org > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> 2009/6/8 spaway <supa....@googlemail.com> > >> > >> > Hi Maya, > >> > > >> > I have checked the chenillekit list of components + templates again. > It > >> > appears there is none for a blog, wiki, chat or alert.
