Hello World Example

If you're anxious to see a little bit about Tapestry without having to go to the trouble of downloading Tapestry and the Tapestry in Action source code, you're in luck! We've created a pre-built "Hello World" Tapestry application that is ready to download and drop directly into your servlet container's deploy directory. This file, helloworld.war, contains all the necessary Tapestry libraries and dependencies, as well as the source code and compiled Java classes.

lewisship_src_helloworld.war

Note: you may need to right click and select "Save link as..." or the equivalent in your browser to force it to save the file rather than load it into the browser window.

DESCRIPTION


Get a first hand look at Tapestry in action by trying the Hello World example provided by Howard Lewis Ship, creator of Tapestry and author of the book.

Many web development frustrations can be traced back to the underlying stateless HTTP protocol. Tapestry represents state and behavior as standard Java objects, methods and properties. That means state management and multithreading are handled by the framework, leaving you with just your application's business logic. Tapestry does more, you do less.

Tapestry in Action is the definitive guide to the Tapestry approach: creating full-featured web apps by connecting framework components to economical amounts of application code. Many simple examples show you how to tackle common tasks such as form validation, application localization, client-side scripting, and synchronization between browser and app server. Later chapters discuss more advanced topics including creation of new components and integration with J2EE.

If you want to create great web applications using Tapestry and know Java (plus plain-vanilla HTML and a little XML), this book is for you.

What's Inside

  • Tapestry's Component Object Model
  • How to write new components
  • How to configure third party components
  • Dynamic JavaScript integration
  • Form validation
  • Tapestry/JSP integration
  • Localization/internationalization
  • J2EE integration
