Welcome to the Tapestry Wiki

{{

}}

Tapestry is a component oriented framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. This wiki exists to supplement the documentation available on the Tapestry home page. It contains FAQs, helpful tips, and ongoing discussions about the future directions of Tapestry.

Users are encouraged to edit the pages of this Wiki. Due to constant spamming, editing the FrontPage is restricted to genuine users though. If you want to edit this page just drop a note with your wiki username to the developer mailing list dev at tapestry.apache.org and we will add you to the ContributorsGroup. You don't need to subscribe for this.

There is HelpForBeginners and there's a WikiSandBox for you to use when learning the Wiki syntax. Please don't test your Wiki chops on real pages!

WARNING: Tapestry versions 3, 4 and 5 are significantly different. When reading the pages below, be sure they apply to the version you are using. In general, unless the page name contains "Tapestry5" you will probably find more current information at

http://tapestry.apache.org

rather than here.
