Looking Authentication and Security recommendations

[Pete Poulos <pe...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm very new to web development in general and tapestry in particular,
but I really like what I've seen/used so far.  I have a java swing
development and haven't had to use/deal with many issues web pages
deal with.

Having said that, I am looking for recommendations on APIs or
approaches for the following things:

Security
Authentication and Role based authentication
Credit Card transaction processing and other billing methods (such as PayPal).
Database Connectivity (preferably with Hibernate, as I've already
invested some time learning this API).
  - I have seen the tapestry-hibernate module, but I've seen in the
mailing threads that people are using other solutions and I'd like to
understand why.

Also, since Tapestry provides an IoC container, why do you need to
integrate with the Spring IoC container?  Is this to provide backwards
compatibility with legacy code as well as being able to use 3rd party
APIs written for Spring or does spring provide services that aren't
available in Tapestry?  If people would be willing to share the Spring
APIs/Services that people are using with their Tapestry applications I
would greatly appreciate it.

Note: I am using Tapestry 5.1 (hence the post on this thread) so I
need solutions that will work with this API.

PS: I apologize in advance if this thread isn't appropriate for this
mailing list.

Thanks,

Welcome to the Tapestry mailing list! :)

Different tools have different pros and cons and no one of them is the  
best solution of any given situation. In addition, people have different  
tastes. And I use and recommend Hibernate, in this case.

Yes and yes. Spring provides many modules (packages) besides the IoC one.  
Tapestry IoC is much newer than Spring, so there isn't many packages built  
on it yet.
