Hibernate Support
How do I use Hibernate in a Tapestry application?
The Tapestry/Hibernate Integration Library integrates into Tapestry 5 to provide out-of-the-box support for using Hibernate 3 as the back end for normal CRUD style applications.
How do I get Hibernate to startup up when the application starts up, rather than lazily with the first request for the application?
This was a minor problem in 5.0; by 5.1 it is just a matter of overriding the configuration system tapestry.hibernate-early-startup
to "true".
