Hi,

Hi!

A partial answer . . .

I'm very new to web development in general and tapestry in particular,

Welcome to the Tapestry mailing list! :)

Database Connectivity (preferably with Hibernate, as I've already
invested some time learning this API).
  - I have seen the tapestry-hibernate module, but I've seen in the
mailing threads that people are using other solutions and I'd like to
understand why.

Different tools have different pros and cons and no one of them is the best solution of any given situation. In addition, people have different tastes. And I use and recommend Hibernate, in this case.

Also, since Tapestry provides an IoC container, why do you need to
integrate with the Spring IoC container?  Is this to provide backwards
compatibility with legacy code as well as being able to use 3rd party
APIs written for Spring or does spring provide services that aren't
available in Tapestry?

Yes and yes. Spring provides many modules (packages) besides the IoC one. Tapestry IoC is much newer than Spring, so there isn't many packages built on it yet.
