Depends... if you have the DB under your control and have a complex object model that maps to a relational model then Tapestry is great. If however the DB is under the control of a DB Administrator, then you would be better of to use IBatis SQL Maps.
If you are new to all this stuff, I would suggest to use pick up one technology at a time and get familiar with it: Java, Servlet Containers, Web Apps, JDBC, Tapestry, etc... One of the tutorials that was suggested guides you to setup an environment, I would suggest to do that. Once you have your environment (Eclipse + spindle + Jetty + ...) under control, you can start learning and you don't have to worry about deployment etc. Hope this helps, Saqib http://galaxy.sagadc.com - Web Services in 15 Minutes - > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Frank [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Tuesday, 12 April 2005 5:04 PM > An: Tapestry users; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Betreff: Re: AW: Looking for a database tutorial > > ok, I was thinking of learning Hibernate, but did not want to take on too > much too soon. > Is Hibernate the best way to work in Tapestry? > > I coming from an ASP/.NET background where I really did not have to think > of > all these things to get a web app running.
