For what it's worth,. I'm a spring boot developer by day, but in my spare time I've put together a few sites using t5 including a personal wedding website and socialwage.com and it is nice for these kinds of projects, which don't require a single page app or an API consumed by mobiles (which it can do, but I prefer spring for that).
For a web framework I've found it to be fantastic and would use it again in a heartbeat. It "just works" and I've found very few problems.

If you're going to write something which isn't a single-page application in Java, I think Tapestry is the best option out there. > and the github https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=tapestry-5. > git;a=summary has less and less activities > Well, it doesn't mean the project is near its end. 1) Software only really dies when no one else is using it or when it's not available anymore. 2) Open-source software only really dies when the source code is lost. Tapestry is an Apache Software Foundation project, so its source won't be lost as long as the Foundation exists, and it's pretty alive and strong. Anyway, Tapestry 5 is a mature project (it started around 2006, based on ideas and concepts already used in previous versions), so it got to a state in which there's not much to be done yet. Important bugs are already fixed, it already has a solid, battle-tested, very flexible foundation which allows you to do lots of amazing things with amazing productivity (live class reloading is awesome and a huge time saver when developing Java webapps). The Tapestry team made a conscious decision to avoid creating more subprojects for more specific stuff. There's no shortage of third-party modules and integrations for Tapestry (the web framework) and Tapestry-IoC (the IoC framework, which can be used independently of the web framework). > Could you tell me if this Framework will continue to be maintained ?

Do you need any specific features not provided in 5.4? and responsive interface > Responsive interfaces, IMHO, are more of how you build the frontend, specially styling with CSS and a little bit of JavaScript, than the backend. Tapestry is more focused in the backend while still having frontend stuff. I also agree with the very insightful points made by Peter and Bob. Feel free to ask further questions and welcome to the Tapestry mailing list. :) -- Thiago
