Well first let me say, I don't know enough about Hivemind to know that I have a certain problem to address with it. The reason I'm looking into this is because of how Tapestry help uncluter my code and allows me to rapidly expand my program in a uniform manner. So that got me thinking what other frameworks would take me even further into building better programs. That's where I am. I'd like to organize my business logic. I use Hibernate for my persistent layer, and Tapestry for my web ui, now I'm thinking something to better focus my business logic would possibly help even more. More direct to the program I've written, I find putting all my config info in the Tapestry global object may not be the best approach, but I'm not sure. I currently load a properties file on startup into my global object. Then access it from there. I'm looking at loading from a flat file and the db, so I'd like a cleaner method of doing that. If you have suggestions there I'd be happy to hear some. Does any of this help explain? > > Tapestry Picasso uses Hivemind to give it greater flexibility, > extensibility, configurability.
