Question 1

Are Apache Tapestry transitive dependencies of Spring or other major Java-based open source projects?

Accepted Answer

Apache Tapestry is a standalone Java web framework and is not a direct dependency of Spring or other major Java-based frameworks like Hibernate, Struts, or Java EE. However, Tapestry applications often integrate with these technologies, particularly Spring for dependency injection, Hibernate for ORM, and other Java enterprise components. If your application combines Tapestry with Spring, maintaining compatibility and security across both frameworks is crucial—something Apache Tapestry NES ensures with continuous support.

Question 2

Can I get Tapestry security patches anywhere else?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no official Apache Software Foundation (ASF) support for Tapestry’s end-of-life versions. Once a Tapestry version reaches EOL (end-of-life), the open-source community typically stops providing security patches, bug fixes, or compatibility updates.

‍

HeroDevs’ Apache Tapestry NES is the only commercial support offering that delivers:

‍

Ongoing security patches for Tapestry EOL versions
Compliance assurances to meet regulatory standards (HIPAA, PCI, SOC2)
Technical expertise for legacy Tapestry applications

‍

Without Apache Tapestry NES, organizations are left to either maintain Tapestry internally, migrate away, or accept security risks.

Question 3

What happens now that Apache Tapestry is end-of-life?

Accepted Answer

Apache Tapestry v4.x is no longer receiving updates from the open-source community. This means security vulnerabilities will remain unpatched, increasing the risk of cyberattacks. Compliance failures (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) may occur due to outdated software. Increased maintenance costs can arise if your team has to manage security manually. With Apache Tapestry NES, you can continue running your application securely while planning for a future upgrade—on your terms.

Question 4

How hard is it to switch to Apache Tapestry NES?

Accepted Answer

Switching to Apache Tapestry NES is seamless and requires no code changes. Apache Tapestry NES is a drop-in replacement for your existing Tapestry framework.

Installation involves updating your Maven or Gradle dependencies to point to HeroDevs’ secure repository. Once installed, you immediately start receiving security patches and become compliant with any applicable regulatory requirements.

HeroDevs provides step-by-step documentation and dedicated technical support to ensure smooth adoption.

Most teams can integrate Apache Tapestry NES in a single sprint, ensuring business continuity with minimal effort.

Question 5

Should I upgrade to Apache Tapestry version 5 instead?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your organization's long-term plans and budget.

Upgrading to Tapestry 5 or another modern framework requires a complete framework upgrade, code refactoring and potential re-architecting, significant development time and costs, and potential downtime and business disruption.

If your organization is not ready for a major migration, Apache Tapestry NES allows you to keep your current version secure while buying time for a strategic transition.

Apache Tapestry NES ensures:

Security patches while you plan your migration
Compliance without disrupting business operations
Flexibility to modernize when it makes sense

Question 6

What are the benefits of using Apache Tapestry NES?

Accepted Answer

Apache Tapestry NES provides peace of mind by ensuring that your applications remain secure and compliant. It allows developers to focus on building features rather than worrying about potential issues arising from using an unsupported version.

Apache Tapestry NES is the only long-term support solution for EOL Tapestry versions.
