Editorial Reviews

Review

"A great book . . . well written, relatively easy to follow, and about an interesting, timely product." -- Columbia Java User Group

"A great book about how to change the way you develop web applications." -- Javalobby.org

"An essential book to have . . . definitely worth the investment." -- Dr. Dobb’s Journal

"Definitely, it is not a ‘for dummies’ book." -- Java User Group Milano (Italy)

"There is no doubt that this IS the book you want." -- TheServerSide.com


Product Description

The creator of Tapestry details how to use this new framework's components to create rich web-based GUIs using links, images, and HTML forms. The challenges of web application development are discussed, such as managing server-side state properly, application localization, and maintaining synchronization between the client web browser and the application server. At the same time, the benefits of a clean separation between presentation logic and business logic and how well Tapestry succeeds in keeping these two concerns apart are identified. Targeted to new Tapestry users and even developers new to creating web applications in general, this guide includes extensive notes on development "gotchas", including common Tapestry errors and how to fix them. Advanced techniques are covered as well, including creating entirely new components, integration with traditional servlet and JSP applications, and creation of client-side JavaScript. Finally, a complete J2EE application, the Virtual Library, is presented and analyzed in detail.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK FOR TAPESTRY 4, August 25, 2006
By GojiraDeMonstah (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
The book seems to be well written and very fine IF AND ONLY IF you are using version 3 and have no plans to upgrade any time soon. If you are using version 4 or plan to any time soon, trying to follow along with this book will send you on a series of wild-goose chases trying to figure out why none of the examples work. Instead I recommend Kent Tong's book, which has been revised to reflect Tapestry 4.

All of the sample code and concepts are based on version 3, and I could not get a single example to work (e.g., the Authentication example relies on the Visit class, which is deprecated. The banner ad example relies on the AbstractService class, which is gone in version 4 - the upgrade guide says simply "that class has been removed so you will have significant rewrites." Not exactly helpful in the "how to" department.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Tapesty In Action - Tapestry in Depth, April 20, 2004
By Robert D. Zeigler (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
Tapestry in Action is a well written book that covers a lot of ground and goes into great depth. As a newcomer to Tapestry, it provided me with a solid foundation of the underpinings of the framework. The explanations, at times, go into so much detail that it occasionally becomes difficult to see the forest for the trees. But if you're truly interested in how things work, you'll appreciate the detail. If you're looking for a book to hold your hand and baby you through development of a tapestry application, you might want to wait for another book, but if you want to gain a solid grasp and understanding of the framework, this book is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great explanation of Tapestry, April 4, 2004
By Jesus M. Rodriguez (Wake Forest, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tapestry in Action is another great In Action book. It does a great job of explaining Tapestry with lots of examples. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to develop J2EE applications and needs an alternative to Struts, non-existent JSF, and standard Servlets.
