If I rebuild Cocoon and deploy it, using Tomcat,
does it not write over all my exisiting settings
and changes?
Simpler = download and unzip zip file and
copy into an existing Cocoon instance.
My point about Spring its that its just one more
thing - and there is already a long list! - to learn.
Maybe as I work more with Hibernate, I will get to
see where the shortfalls are and take it up...
I do not deal with transactions and its not clear to me
what "resource management" means in this context.
If we are going to recommend - or even suggest - that people
use these technologies, we *must* make more documentation
available - Hugo is one of very few who has bothered to
write up how to get going with Hibernate (and I could not
yet find anything equivalent for Spring on the Wiki?). Maybe
if some of the people - and there are quite a few - on the mailing
list, who have indicated that there are already up-and-running
with Hibernate, could supply some of their working code
or docs we could get going...
My point here is that if we get a new person on the list
who says "can I start with Cocoon to do a database web-
app?" there should be a track - or two or three - that we
can point him/her to and say "follow that!". I'll warrent
many people already on the list (judging by previous
threads) will welcome this too...
NB This is not aimed at you Ugo, I know you have done and
are doing your best to supply help in this area.

Two points here:
Using Spring is meant to simplify your life WRT using Hibernate alone.
No need to deal with resource management, exception handling and
transactions. This alone is a big advantage, IMHO.
The above may be a matter of opinion, but your second point is
factually
incorrect. There are just three steps involved:
1. unzip the file
2. paste a bunch of lines into a file
3. run build.sh (or build.bat)
Can you really make it simpler? Well, we could distribute a binary
version of the block, but the point of the sample is to show some best
practices _in_source_code_, not to run a real online petstore.
