This library integrates into Tapestry 5 to provide out-of-the-box support for using Hibernate 3 as the backend for normal CRUD style applications.
For at least, the first pass, this will represent access to the native Hibernate interfaces, exposed in a thread-safe manner, within a session-per-request strategy.
A number of more esoteric ideas in Hibernate are not supported, including nested transactions and supporting multiple persistence units.
Hibernate is licensed under the Lesser GNU Public License. This is more restrictive license than the Apache Software License used by the rest of Tapestry. The restrictions mostly apply to redistricuting Hibernate, especially in any altered form, and will likely be irrelvant to the vast majority of users, but you should be aware.
This library is compiled against version 3.2.2.ga of Hibernate, but does not establish that as a dependency (it uses the "provided" scope); you will have to manually setup a dependency against your preferred version of Hibernate in your project's Maven POM. Once the library has stabilized, a Maven archetype (project template) will be created to help with this step.
