About Spring vs. Hivemind As far as I understand, Spring goes beyond Hivemind. Hivemind offers a neat way of using Dependency Injection. Spring does that, too, but it also offers Spring AOP, and a whole bunch of convenient templates and utilities to simplify development, not only for persistence, but also for mail, messaging, etc. There is probably a lot more to be said about both, but since that would be only very loosely related to Tapestry, maybe a Spring or Hivemind forum would be a better place to discuss it in detail. Concerning your problem: - if the HibernateTemplate is your only reason to use Spring, I'd say, don't. Of all the features of Spring, I think this template is a rather not-so-interesting one, since it offers rather little advantage over Hibernate's own API. - if you have decided that you need Spring, for AOP or else, but are put off by some exceptions you have been getting, don't give up so easily. Check again if you have all required libraries installed (missing libraries seem to have been the reasons for the first errors you have been posting). Have a look at AppFuse and "betterpetstore" to see how the three tools Tapestry, Spring and Hibernate are used together there. What was the current state of things again? The last stack trace you posted doesn't seem to give helpful information. Not to me, anyway. Is maybe something wrong with your applicationContext.xml?
