      <li>
           <div id="injection" class="tapProperty"></div> <h3>Convention Over Configuration</h3>

           <div id="scalable" class="tapProperty"></div><h3>Scalable</h3>
           <p>Scales up big on a single server, and works great in a cluster. Keeps session state minimal by design.</p>

           <div id="modular" class="tapProperty"></div><h3>Adaptable And Modular</h3>
           <p>Architecture is open and extensible. There's a clean way to add your own extensions, or override built-in logic. Provides  integration   with <a href="http://hibernate.org/">Hibernate</a> and <a href="http://www.springsource.org/">Spring</>. Third-party integrations with other tools, such as <a href="http://www.quartz-scheduler.org">Quartz</a> and <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html">Lucene</a>.</p>

           <p>Pure Java; no reflection, not even for property expressions. Built to cleanly support large numbers of concurrent threads without contention. Automatic GZip content compression, JavaScript aggregation, and client-side caching.</p>

      <li>
           <div id="reporting" class="tapProperty"></div> <h3>Advanced Exception Reporting</h3>
           <p>Gives you all the tools you need to fix your problem: not just a  stack trace, but every bit of information you need to know about what Tapestry was doing, why it was doing it, what went wrong, and how to fix it.</p>
