Advanced Tapestry 5

Go a bit deeper into Tapestry 5 and see the challenges and solutions you'll face when building real applications. This includes integration with Hibernate, managing server-side state, creating reusable components and libraries, and integrating and encapsulating JavaScript as components, and advanced customization of built-in components.

Tapestry is a rich environment for developing web applications; it manages all the busy work for you, but then gets out of your way. When building applications, you are frequently faced with challenges such as tracking what the user is up to, formatting, editing and validating data, or creating fancy JavaScript interfaces. We'll cover the tools Tapestry provides for all of these, and get a peek into Tapestry's holistic approach to building applications, and show how easy it is to build up libraries of components along the way.
