Best practice - use a combination of Tapestry and Hibernate "tricks". Use separate configuration files, and pick to use based on the mode you are running in your AppModule:
public void contributeHibernateSessionSource(OrderedConfiguration<HibernateConfigurer> configurer, @InjectService("DefaultHibernateConfigurer") HibernateConfigurer defaultHibernateConfigurer) { class RunModeDependentHibernateConfigurer implements HibernateConfigurer { public void configure(org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration configuration) { if (productionMode || "true".equals(System.getProperty(Symbols.FORCE_PERSISTENT_DB))) configuration .configure("/hibernate-production.cfg.xml"); else configuration.configure("/hibernate-test.cfg.xml"); } } ; configurer.add(productionMode == true ? "production" : "test", new RunModeDependentHibernateConfigurer(), "before:*"); } I had earlier (in bind()) set the static productionMode flag based on the value of System.getProperty(SymbolConstants.PRODUCTION_MODE). We also use another flag to force the persistent db even if we are running in development mode (handy when you want to with the production database). Even if you don't understand the code, copy and paste it to your AppModule and resolve errors and see how it behaves, then read the documentation for tapestry-ioc and tapestry-hibernate modules.
