Since we've been on the topic of hibernate and cayenne... I had a question for those cayenne users who have used hibernate. On the tapestry user list, there's been some discussion lately about generic edit pages for objects. Most recently, a user mentioned having 30 entities and thus having 30 edit pages. The user was wondering if there was some way to have a single edit page for all of those entities. I have an app right now with about 20 user-editable entities. The "view" page for all of these entities is the same. The "edit" page for all of these entities is the same. Note also that this includes sorting, and the view table does interesting things like filtering, sorting, links between objects in relationships, etc. All of this is possible largely due to cayenne's rich support of object meta-data, with lots of information about properties and relationships.

So my question is: does hibernate make the same amount of metatdata available that cayenne does?
