While I can't speak for Cayane (I've never used it), I can definitely confirm that Hibernate has one of the most arrogant, insular, and unhelpful communities I've ever had the misfortune to interact with. I have to hold my nose every time I post a question on their boards and, as often a not, I get a one line answer that is a variant on "stupid newb, stfu and rtfm."
If the library itself wasn't so good I'd have deleted it in a heartbeat just for the pure joy of not having to *ever* interact with the hibernate community again. If I were to start a new project I'd definitely look at Cayanne, but for existing stuff, I've already made the commitment to Hibernate. --- Pat > -----Original Message----- > From: Konstantin Ignatyev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 4:17 PM > To: Tapestry users > Subject: Re: Back to Tapestry after an Year > > Thanks for sharing. > > Many people- many opinions.
