Emmanuel, You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Tapestry over the past several years on a major Financial Services SaaS application used by 10s of thousands of people. Tapestry is an outstanding framework. I will happily sponsor Thiago in his current and future endeavors. Cheers to Thiago and all who contribute to the project! Cyndy

When in doubt, report using the Phish Alert Button or contact phish...@reged.com My advice? Stop wasting your valuable time on this dead but walking project that only 5 people worldwide are using. Given alternatives like Angular (yes, there is a server side option too, not just SPA), React, Vue, Ember, etc., who in their right mind uses Tapestry in this day and age? Get a life Thiago instead of holding on to this arcane framework that even the original developer, Howard Lewis Ship has long abandoned this sinking ship. Howard is happily using Apache Wicket nowadays for his server side and React or Angular for his SPAs.
