Starting T4, what database layer to use?
Hello all, Currently all our development is in T3(I know we are behind). The word has come down its time to upgrade. My question is, what technology works best with T4 as the layer between it and the database? Currently we use Torque with T3(behind again I know). I have been researching it and hibernate pops up everywhere but it seems like most of the posts are from 2006 or earlier. So what is the best solution for us?(Is maybe T5 and something better than going T4 even?) Thanks in advance for your advice, --James
Re: Starting T4, what database layer to use?
Hi James, I'd recommend you skip T4 and go straight to T5 if you can live with it not being final yet. As far as I know the final release should happen sometime this summer, though. T5 is already quite mature, though - I've been using T5 in production for more than 7 months with only minor issues along the way. Hibernate is very much alive and kicking - check the tapestry-hibernate module, which adds some very nice, slick Hibernate 3 support to T5. Oh, and if you decide to use Hibernate... get the book from Manning, Java Persistence with Hibernate - formerly known as Hibernate in Action. -Filip James Sherwood skrev: Hello all, Currently all our development is in T3(I know we are behind).

Re: Starting T4, what database layer to use?
Hi, You really should skip T4. I've used both and must say that T5 is really much clearer and easier to work with. If you want to go serious with technology, you should probably look for Hibernate - Spring - T5 combo. For our latest project we decided to drop Spring, because T5 ioc offered everything we need - and configuration went down from 2 ~ 400 line xml files to 20 rows in AppModule... (Binds) That's amazing :) Also the app is generally faster, because many Spring filters are left out now. Only word of caution is that T5 is not final yet. And there are some components / functionality missing that should be there. (Date picker localization for an example.) Buy a book (Tapestry 5 - Buildin Web Applications by Alexander Kolesnikov is ok.) and make a small POC with T5. Fastest way is to download Netbeans 6.1 and use it's maven support to start new project using archetype. Here is a tutorial how to do that : http://www.troymaxventures.com/2008/05/tapestry5-netbeans-quickstart.html - 99 James Sherwood wrote: Hello all, Currently all our development is in T3(I know we are behind).
