Review on HTTP Toolkit by Justin Woolley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best framework and easiest to use with great support

The best part is that it has all of one page applications in place for you which makes developing easier than any other tool I have used previously! It's not as easy at first but once set up everything works really well - no more having multiple tabs or windows just because your application needs them (like most others). Also there are some issues using Chrome where sometimes if refresh twice quickly then they won't load properly/at least this was my experience so far trying out their demo app called "tapestry". This issue isn’t present when viewing pages from localhost though unfortunately due its nature Tapestry can be run only online through an Apache Tomcat server instance such as Jetty etc.. Which means we would need another dev environment setup like Heroku instead since our main production site runs off JBoss EAP 6 servers locally without problems however running.

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • One click deployments with auto configuration scripts included already done by default, also including database connection details too.
  • Very fast startup time compared against similar tools i've seen before
  • Lots functionality built into tapestrys core framework making development very quick & simple especially coming back after years away working professionally within web frameworks
Cons
  • None
