Tapestry is a Java-based programming toolkit that uses XML to implement applications in accordance with the model-view-controller design pattern. With an emphasis on simplicity and ease of use, Tapestry aims to avoid forcing programmers to create enormous blocks of "glue code". By having strong binding between the elements on the web page itself and the underlying code, the construction of applications is a lot more straightforward.
