Meta-Programmng Java with Tapestry 5
*Excerpt
Why code when you can meta-code? Learn how you can leverage Tapestry's built-in aspect oriented technologies to eliminate cut-and-paste coding (and ugly inheritance hierarchies) with simple declarative annotations.
Description
At multiple levels, the Tapestry web framework includes features that allow you to meta-program Java: that is, let the framework write a lot of your code for you. We’ll do a quick survey of these approaches, and show how you can use annotations instead of inheritance or complex inheritance to accomplish cross-cutting concerns such as logging, transaction support and security checks.
