I'd like to share my experience regarding the issue. I'm not a tapestry guru but I just fought my way through hosting it on google application engine.
Here is my blogpost about hosting tapestry5.1 on Google application engine<http://java-army.blogspot.com/2010/02/hosting-apache-tapestry51-on-gae-google.html> You'll find the application's link it but here it is again<http://j-army.appspot.com/> . Please note that it has absolutely NOTHING but registering, logging in and logging out ! That's as much as I've gone with tapestry so far. I had nothing in mind to do !
