I would agree that it's a bit much more difficult to "grok", but we're working on that what HiveMind 2.0! Yes, you don't need to know anything about HiveMind, necessarily, to use Tapestry. But, if you want to extend/enhance it (as you said), you do.

Very quick and painless. I think that use of Hivemind is required when one needs to extend or enhance or add new functionality to Tapestry itself. Certainly one could also use Hivemind as a configuration engine for other non-Tapestry services, but it isn't actually required for that purpose. I don't mind Hivemind as an IoC container, but I have found it more difficult to grok than Spring. -Scott On Sunday 25 June 2006 11:34, James Carman wrote: > That being said, Scott, it *is* much easier to "plug in" to Tapestry using > HiveMind, since Tapestry itself is wired together using HiveMind. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 8:41 PM > To: users@tapestry.apache.org > Subject: Re: Tapestry 3 to 4.1 to 5 > > I'm guessing you mean Hivemind, not Hibernate. > > Hibernate is an ORM that is completely independant of Tapestry.
