Hi All,
The most important consideration in this debate imho is backwards compatibility. Some companies have tens of thousands of lines of Tapestry code, so are heavily invested. Whilst removing prototype is probably a good idea, Tapestry must maintain legacy support for prototype, at least as an optional inclusion going forward. Not doing so will alienate many, not a mistake worth repeating. This is why the 5.4 planned JavaScript abstraction layer is a great idea. regards, Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose Luis Sanchez" <joseluis.sanc...@m-centric.com> To: "Tapestry users" <users@tapestry.apache.org> Sent: Friday, 16 December, 2011 1:41:32 PM Subject: Re: prototypejs is dead - time to bring t5-jquery in? Just to add some more fire :) ,and think it's a nice idea. Found this , in here( grails 2.0.0 release ) http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/gettingStarted.html#requirements jQuery Replaces Prototype The Protoype Javascript library has been removed from Grails core and now new Grails applications have the jQuery plugin configured by default. This will only impact you if you are using Prototype with the adaptive AJAX tags in your application, e.g. <g:remoteLink/> etc, because those tags will break as soon as you upgrade. To resolve this issue, simply install thePrototype plugin <http://grails.org/plugin/prototype>in your application. You can also remove the prototype files from your|web-app/js/prototype|directory if you want. > > On Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:17:35 -0200, trsvax <trs...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I agree about having a prototype.jar and I don't view this as a backward >> compatibility problem.
