+ == Graviter ==
+ 
+ Graviter is the assisted product search for [http://www.gravit.com.br 
Gravit], an online electronic shop in Brazil (think about this as a guidester 
knock-off). Gravit itself is hosted on a canned "e-commerce" site, but the 
smart, computer-inclined shop manager wanted to provide search capabilities 
that go far beyond what the e-commerce site currently offers.
+ 
+ So I've designed a "mirror" database, that gets data exported from the 
e-commerce site (thanks goodness they provide an automated XML data export), 
and adds what we need to provide smart, consumer-oriented searchs. Every 
product fits in a ''category'', and each category has many ''attributes''. The 
shop manager can use some administrative pages to edit product descriptions and 
attribute values; customers then use the search pages to find the products they 
want.
+ 
+ Graviter was done using PostgreSQL as the backend database, Hibernate 3 for 
object-relational mapping, Tapestry 4.0 Beta 3 for the presentation layer, and 
finally Spring 1.2 glueing everything together. While developing Graviter I've 
found and patched [http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-450 a] 
[http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-526 few] 
[http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-531 bugs] in Tapestry, and 
contributed [http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-435 some 
translations] as well. These bugs were easy to find and fix, thanks to the open 
source nature of Tapestry (and [http://www.jetbrains.com IDEA's] amazing code 
inspections).
