    It covers creating a new project (using Maven), setting up dependencies and structure, and creating a page template and seeing changes to the live application when you change a Java class.

    Class reloading is a key feature of Tapestry 5 and is exceptionally important to the stellar productivity Tapestry 5 will enable. Just as people fastened on to the Tapestry 3/4 templating system, I think many people will fasten on to class reloading. Don't be mistaken; there's a lot more to this enchilada than that one feature. But it's a great feature to hook people early on!

    Part - II

    This one shows how to use built-in Tapestry components, touches on the exception page, transient and persistent properties, and component event handler methods. Along the way, we see just how great it is to be able to change code on the fly!
    For Tapestry 4 users, the two big things to pay attention to:

  • Action handler methods, not listener methods
  • Action requests send a client refresh, not updated HTML The latter one is a big change from Tapestry 4, and implies that more data will have to be persistent between requests; the good news is that client property persistence, as well as flash persistence, will be supported fairly soon
