Hi!

Trails can be downloaded from
https://trails.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList  . The latest
release 0.9.1 is just a week old.

The wiki and examples can be found at http://trails.inspiring.nl/confluence

As to whether it's comprehensive enough for an e-commerce site, it depends
on what you mean. Trails helps you with the following;

1. Quickly generate a hierarchy of project directories with some ant script
for deploy to app server, and for hibernate integreation, et.c. Really easy
to just open up in eclipse and I only had to change one file (and drop in a
jar) to use my existing MySQL server instead of the default HSQL.

2. For all classes you define as @Entites in the source directories, pages
will be automatically created for edit and listings (in contrib:Table tables
of sorts). All list pages have create and lucene search. All editpages have
delete.

3. In the edit pages, all OneToMany mappings in the entity will
automatically generate a list of clickable links to the editpages of the
other class' instances, toghether with a "mini" add/delete menu. For
ManyToOne, it will generate a dropdown options meny filled with all
instances instead. For ManyToMany a palette will be created.

4. When you wish to change something you can use "ant create-edit-page" or
"ant create-list-page" which will make a html and page file in you
context/WEB-INF directory, which you can edit the normal tapestry way.

You will still have to add a lot of functionality, but given that trails is
not a CMS but a "meta-framwork" i'd have to say yes.

Cheers,
PS
