he J2EE world is full of development frameworks, all designed to simplify tedious low-level programming tasks and allow the programmer to get on with more interesting business-related stuff. The most well known probably is Struts, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework based largely on Struts Action. More recent frameworks are shifting away from the Struts approach in favor of a higher-level, more object-oriented approach that is component-based and event-driven. Among the most interesting of this new generation of frameworks are JavaServer Faces (JSF), which is backed by industry giants such as Sun, and a dynamic and innovative outsider from the Apache Jakarta project called Tapestry.

Simply put, instead of dealing with the Servlet API or with Struts Actions, the Tapestry programmer stores user data with object properties and handles user actions with event-handling methods.
