Tapestry is a component based framework for creating sophisticated web applications. It's used with existing application servers, acting as a kind of "super servlet". This distribution contains the Tapestry framework, related frameworks and libraries, documentation. The Tapestry Home Page contains much more information about what Tapestry is, how to use it and why you can't live without it!
Tapestry is distributed in three different sizes:
The JARs were compiled on Windows 2000 using Sun's JDK 1.3 compiler, however it is easy to rebuild the JARs on different platforms and different compilers (JDK 1.2 and above).
This product includes software developed by the Apache Software Foundation ( http://www.apache.org/).
