Tapestry is a powerful, all-Java framework for creating leading edge web applications in Java. Tapestry has been developed by Howard Lewis Ship.

Tapestry is positioned primarily as an alternative to JavaServer Pages. It replaces the scripting and code generation of JSPs with a full-fledged component object model.

”Tapestry reconceptualizes web application development in terms of objects, methods and properties instead of URLs and query parameters.”

Tapestry provides a component object model for building web applications, which results in the following benefits:

Very high level of reuse, within and between projects
Everything in Tapestry is a reusable component
Frees developers from writing boring, buggy code
Code in terms of objects, methods and properties, not URLs and query parameters
Allows applications' complexity to scale well
Framework does all the URL building and message dispatching, transparently
Easy Internationalization/Localization
Framework selects localized version of templates and images
Extremely robust applications
Less code is less bugs; plus sophisticated built-in exception reporting and other developer tools built in
