| What Will This Do For Me, Again? |

| You've aready read the gospel, you get it. You want to use a component framework and get up and running. Or, at least, you've heard enough to |
| want to give it a shot. Maybe there's something to this after all? Of course, you just want to try it out and build something. Tapestry's dead |
| simple with a little bit of experimentation, it feels like the framework you dreamed about. Nothing feels "cobbled" together. However, getting |
| an instance of it up and running and getting it to a point where everything is in its place is a different story! This is true of any sophisticated |
| web framework, but it's nonetheless an unacceptably high price to pay just to be able to experiment. |
| |
| The application that this archetype creates isn't a full blown application, and you're free to modify/extend it as you see fit. The archetype comes |
| preloaded with examples of all the major "actors" in a Tapestry application so you can actually see how a basic one works. Examine them, understand |
| how/why you might use certain pieces, and see them work in concert. |
