Technical Report

  1. Acquire Java JDK, Apache Ant, Eclipse 3.1.x, Tomcat 4.1.30, Tapestry 3.0.3, and optionally the Spindle 3.2.0 update site zip (or download directly using eclipse).
    Links
  2. Install Java, Apache Ant, and Tomcat. Use Ant to deploy Tapestry to the tomcat install.
    • Execute the Java download file, and follow wizard.
    • Extract the ant archive to a permanent location, and add the bin directory to the your path.
    • Extract the tomcat archive. Either add JAVA_HOME to your environment variables, or set the variable in the startup and shutdown scripts in the bin directory.
    • Extract the tapestry archive to a temporary location, and follow the instructions in Readme.html under "Configuring Tomcat"
      I found the the install failed on downloading Javassist, if you have this problem, try editing the javassist.loc property in config/common.properties, replacing the server telia.dl.sourceforge.net with your own choice of sourceforge mirror, or simply replace the entire link with a selection from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jboss/javassist-2.5.1.zip?download
  3. Copy tapestry libs into tomcat lib folder
    • Copy all files from webapps/workbench/WEB-INF/lib to shared/lib. Alternatively, ensure these files are copied into webapps/project-name/WEB-INF/lib for every webapp.
  4. Install Eclipse and Spindle
    • Extract the eclipse archive to a permanent location, and run the executable.
    • Select Help → Software Updates → Find and Install, choose Select new features to install.
    • Proceed with one of the following
      • Choose New Remote Site, and enter the name Spindle, and the UpdateSite URL (http://spindle.sourceforge.net/updates)
      • Extract the UdateSite Zip, choose New Local Site, and select the location of the extracted files.
    • Click Finish
    • Explore the tree and select "Spindle 3, and Eclipse Plugin for Tapestry 3.2.0"
    • Proceed through the wizard to install spindle
