I am a big fan of Tapestry 5. This version is a huge improvement over version 4.

Here is an unusual post for this weblog. Regular readers of this weblog may know that I am working on an innovative solution for e-commerce. As I need to work this out properly, I would like to gather a list of (ideally) 10 small companies that are in need of creating an online store (I’m […]

Anyway, a useful trick illustrated in this book […]
Tapestry is getting better and better in regards to Java 5 support. The extension I spoke about in a previous post on Tapestry annotations as been somehow used as a basis for the official annotations in Tapestry.
Howard gives a nice explanation on how using annotations can simplify your code.
Update: Howard commented my post and precised […]
I have just received last friday my new server, basically an Xserve G5 [en] with two 2.3Ghz processors and 2Gb of RAM. This configuration cost me around 6200 € which is quite expansive but if you consider you have about 1000 € of software, about 960 € of warranty for 3 years and 1030 € of […]
