Hi,

I'm trying to find a list of websites that use Tapestry 5. I would like to take a look at them and see what sort of things they are able to do using Tapestry. If any of you have a public website that is built on Tapestry 5, please send me a link. Also, I'm interested to know if you built the website using mostly standard "out of the box" components, or did it require you to create a lot of custom components? Did you use the packaged prototype/scriptaculous javascript library, or did you use some other library? If you did, was it difficult to connect in? Did you use hibernate or did you use some other ORM? If you did, was it difficult to connect in?

I'm new to Tapestry and am evaluating whether I want to use it for my next project(s). The component based architecture is very intriguing to me. I've gone through the excellent tutorial which is what grabbed my attention the most and got me excited about using Tapestry. However, for a Tapestry beginner, there is a rather large jump from the level the tutorial stops at and where the rest of the documentation ends up, with little in between. While Tapestry at face value seems to make things really easy, I also get the feeling that it locks a developer into specific technologies unless he/she can spend an enormous amount of time really understanding how things work in order to customize it to work the way they want. I know the documentation says I can customize things, but how is not very clear.

So before I get too deep, I would like to know if Tapestry 5 CAN be customized to do the sorts of things I want to do. And, I want to know if it is EASY to customize. Thus, reviewing other websites using Tapestry 5 (with additional feedback requested above) would be a great help.

Thanks,
Michael Martineau
