Hi all, just wanted to say hello as I'm back working on Tapestry & Tynamo, at least for a fleeting moment! It all started when I was brought to steward an unruly, JSP-based(!) codebase that used Spring ACL as its security framework. With a few tens of thousand of data rows and a complex security rules, the ACL join tables were starting to push several millions of rows, all handled post data query and it was starting to show. So, I figured I'll dig up some old code (http://www.tynamo.org/tapestry-security-jpa+guide/) to show how this could be rewritten properly, and the next thing I know, I've been writing a whole next generation proof-of-concept application in Tapestry :)
While we are still in Java land, there's a lot to like about Tapestry, obviously with it's code auto reloading and the sane approach to dependency injection, but also pseudo nested transactions (the whole transaction handling is so much more sensible than in Spring) and simple JAX-RS integration. On that note, one of the new modules I published was a swagger integration for tapestry-resteasy. Overall, this weekend saw releases of no less than seven Tynamo modules, all updated to work with Tapestry 5.5: tapestry-conversations 0.3.0 tapestry-jpa-seedentity 0.2.0 tapestry-security 0.8.0 tapestry-security-jpa 0.2.0 tapestry-resteasy 0.6.0 tapestry-resteasy-swagger 0.0.2 tynamo-test 0.2.1 You may check out the updated documentation at http://www.tynamo.org/ as always. I'll post a few announcements as time allows. Kalle
