Hi Massimo,

Well.... I've read the docs and I posted the question to the mailinglist 
(see mail 'Some Tapestry 4 questions' by me from 17th of July). The 
answer I got from Kevin Menard was this:
-----------------------------------------
It does matter where you  place your HTML file though.  I have a 
directory structure like:

context/
   -----------> css/
   -----------> WEB-INF/

I used to place all my HTML & .page files into WEB-INF/, but it  seemed 
when I dumped the .page file, I had to move the HTML file up  to 
context/.  Maybe you should try that.
-----------------------------------------

As soon as I did that, it all worked. And unless I'm completely 
misreading it, it still says exactly this in the T4 Users Manual: 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/template.html

But you are right about this being off topic just a whee bit. :oP

Although the previous issue was indeed off topic on this list, I don't 
think the discussion about the different web frameworks is. The 
Barracuda webpage still lacks some documentation on the Tapestry 
framework. In the 'Surveying the Landscape' section it still says about 
Tapestry: "[...] Interesting approach, but we need to better understand 
the details before we can fully evaluate it in terms of strengths and 
weaknesses."

I personally find this discussion very useful for anyone looking at 
different frameworks to see which one to go with. It is hard to make a 
decision without knowing them all and yet it takes an awfull lot of time 
to get to know them all. Any information that makes that choice easier 
would be welcome in my opinion.

I think we are in full agreement here: Barracuda is very cool, but at 
the moment Tapestry is the most powerful and mature framework. 
Especially combined with Java5/Annotations.

Wicket seems to be gaining momentum at tremendous speed though.
