For our project, I created a custom PropertySelection-like component 
that ties into validation, and tweaked our custom IValidationDelegate 
to decorate FieldLabel appropriately.  It shouldn't have been this much 
work to do, but at least the framework allowed for it.

At some point I will contribute these types of customizations we've 
done back somehow.  I've no problem sharing the code - but I'm 1) too 
busy to package it up with all the polish it deserves and 2) hesitant 
to go too far down the path of hacking the current state of validation 
in Tapestry when I'm sure it will architecturally change in future 
versions.

I don´t know anything about Torgue but, Hibernate together with xdoclet is
very easy to use.
You referer you xdoclet generated xml files in a common xml file (suprise).

Hibernate supports a good query language and have support for lazyload of 
one-to-many, many-to-many relations.

MySql is supported but I don´t know about mssql, but I don´t think its a
problem.

I guess that Hibernate has the biggest community hence you are able to get
good support on the mailing list etc.

Question on database mapper

[James Sherwood <js...@romulin.com>]

What is the best database object mapper to use with tapestry?

Currently we use torque but it seems like most people are using or switching
to hibernate.

Which is the best or pros and cons?

Torque is very easy to use is hibernate?

What about problems, which is more supported, etc?

Mostly, we use mysql but sometimes we use mssql.

Any input would be appreciated,

Thanks,
James

Nothing is set in code yet, but here are some thoughts:
