A much earlier version of the framework (an early beta) included a JDBCQuery component that would execute a JDBC query, then iterate over the result set, converting each row into a Map and rendering its body (like a Foreach).
About the rest ... Tapestry is just the presentatation layer, it has no real designs on being the data access layer and it is completely agnostic about all that. However, showing how it operates within a J2EE environment is important. The JBoss requirement is JUST FOR THE TURN-KEY DEMO. Tapestry is coded completely against standard APIs (i.e., javax.servlet) and has no dependencies on any particular servlet container or application server. You can use Tapestry in anything from single-layer flat-file database, to globe-spanning EJBs ... as long as it looks like objects and JavaBeans properties, Tapestry will be happy. OGNL is actually someone else's product. It was much better than the equivalent code in Tapestry, so I stripped out my code and plugged in Drew's.
