Tapestry tutorial: Simulated Portal

This tutorial shows how to build a data-driven Portal application using Tapestry.

At the bottom of the page is a drop down list for adding new content to this page.

The content is provided by other pages within the application. However, the content doesn't have to be simple HTML ... it can be Tapestry components, even forms and links.

Each "Portlet" can be maximized (showing its content) or minimized (showing just its title) independently, using the bar/box icon in the upper right corner. To remove a Portlet from the page, just click its close button (the red X).

Don't forget to click the inspector (at the bottom of the page) to see how this application is constructed!
