I am going through the Tapestry beginner tutorial at: http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry-tutorial.html
I just downloaded the template project and tried running it as is.
The problem is adding the @Persist annotation to the property my application hangs indefinitely. I realized that it happens when I launch my application from Eclipse using a RunJettyRun configuration. If I run it form the command prompt with mvn jetty:run it works fine.
I notice that the RunJettyRun version on my machine does not match up exactly with the screenshots in the Tapestry tutorial. Mine allows you to select from three different Jetty versions:
Jetty 6.1 Jetty 7.5 Jetty 8.0
Version 8 doesn't launch at all. 6 and 7 have the hanging error. Using Jdk1.7, Eclipse Indigo and Windows XP.
I realized that it happens when I launch my application from Eclipse using a RunJettyRun configuration. If I run it form the command prompt with mvn jetty:run it works fine.
I am a maintainer of RJR team , that sounds more like a RunJettyRun bug if you could run it well with "mvn jetty:run".
Because I am not familiar with Tapestry, if you could provide the reproducible war file and reproduce steps, and file a issue on RJR's tracker,
then I will try to check if there's anything we could do for it.
It sounds more like configuration conflict or version issue, but it's just a quick guess.
