A component-oriented framework for creating highly scalable web applications in Java.
Java Power
Tapestry pages and components are simple Java POJOs, with easy access to all Java language features and the vast Java ecosystem. Thanks to Java's advanced concurrency API, Tapestry handles requests fast without sacrificing security or stability.
Scripting Ease
Tapestry features live class reloading: change your Java code, refresh the browser and see the changes... instantly! Have your cake and eat it too: the speed and depth of Java, the agile development style of Ruby or Python.
Super Productivity
Simple POJO classes, streamlined templates, live class reloading, state-of-the-art exception reporting, first-class Ajax support, and a big library of built-in components: Tapestry is designed from the ground up to give you great productivity.
We think you will love Tapestry! Give us 20 minutes and follow our quickstart guide.

h3. Unable to render embedded object: File (injection.png) not found. Convention Over Configuration
Say goodbye to endless XML configuration files: dependency injection and meta-programming through annotations.
Unable to render embedded object: File (Refresh.png) not found. Highly Productive
Live class reloading means that the time between seeing an error and providing the fix is seconds, not minutes.
Unable to render embedded object: File (accepted.png) not found. Testable
Committed to testability throughout design; built-in utilities to enhance TDD. Support for Selenium for integration testing. See Tapestry's code coverage report
Unable to render embedded object: File (fast.png) not found. Fast
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.
Unable to render embedded object: File (bug.png) not found. Advanced Exception Reporting
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.
Unable to render embedded object: File (Web.png) not found. Scalable
Scales up big on a single server, and works great in a cluster. Keeps session state minimal by design.
Unable to render embedded object: File (plugin.png) not found. Adaptable And Modular
Architecture is open and extensible. There's a clean way to add your own extensions, or override built-in logic. Provides integration with Hibernate and Spring
. Third-party integrations with other tools, such as Quartz
