Why HN links it

HN readers link this blog for posts about Apache Tapestry, a Java web framework. Comments point to a post on its Plastic library, which is built on ASM and handles boilerplate, and to a comparison with WebObjects.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

The inside scoop on what's happening with Tapestry ... from the creator of the Apache Tapestry framework. Plus all the normal, random thoughts on coding and technology.

  3. Apache Tapestry has a library called Plastic that serves the same purpose and is also built on top of ASM. Plastic helps Tapestry handle a lot of the boilerplate and ceremony with common Java patterns (decorators, chains, handler pipelines, etc), and can be used as an independent library. Here's one blog post on it: http://tapestryjava.blogspot.com/2012/02/plastic-advanced-ex...
