Apache Tapestry
open-in-new
<p>Apache Tapestry is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> component-oriented <a href="/facts/Java_/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> <a href="/facts/Web_application_framework/8f1CVHDX">web application framework</a> conceptually similar to <a href="/facts/JavaServer_Faces/1QhmoE1A">JavaServer Faces</a> and <a href="/facts/Apache_Wicket/CMYwKWwh">Apache Wicket</a>. Tapestry was created by Howard Lewis Ship,[<i>when?</i>] and was adopted by the <a href="/facts/Apache_Software_Foundation/Xl9Tt9lE">Apache Software Foundation</a> as a top-level project in 2006. </p><p>Tapestry emphasizes simplicity, ease of use, and developer productivity. It adheres to the <a href="/facts/Convention_over_Configuration/ByfLmJ2v">Convention over Configuration</a> paradigm, eliminating almost all <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> configuration. Tapestry uses a modular approach to web development by having a strong <a href="/facts/UI_data_binding/WrtQrpIS">binding</a> between each <a href="/facts/User_interface/e9sPEWVD">user interface</a> component (object) on the web page and its corresponding <a href="/facts/Java_/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> class. This component-based architecture borrows many ideas from <a href="/facts/WebObjects/PyRxEc9F">WebObjects</a>. </p>
