Hi all, i've just started thinking about how Tapestry is going to be used in a new project at work. One of the decisions is how the integration with hibernate is going to be implemented, i'm guessing 95% of Tapestry projects goes through this. With this in mind i took a look at Honeycomb and at Tapernate. They both look great and seem to provide just what i need to this project. Although this is good, it leaves me with a problem, which one ?
As i look deeply into each one i find some differences in implementation/usage of the same feature, some features that are implemented in honeycomb and not tapernate and vice-versa, but mainly i see a project goal difference. It seems that honeycomb looks to not only provide integration with hibernate but with other libraries that might be useful in a web project, tapernate only goal is to implement the tapestry+hibernate integration. With this, some doubts came to mind. Why are there two projects for this ? Wouldn't it be better for both projects if they would join forces ? If so, shouldn't tapernate be included/merged into honeycombs hibernate integration ? What do you guys think ? Cheers Hugo
