Ok, thanks, that help. Last question: Is it easy to change the UI after Trails 
generate the page ? Because, we have some specific needs. We won't use the 
simple layout Trails give after the generation. We need to modify the ui to 
reflect our needs.

Thanks !

Subject: Re: Trails

I only use trails for my Tapestry-4 development. Mainly because I enjoyed the 
steep initial learning curve of tapestry and needed something to lean on.

The main reason I liked and like trails is because the ant scripts together 
with hibernate tools generate all tables in my MySQL database automatically 
from my POJOs. I just need to grok how to @annotate right, which in itself have 
been interresting, so all lookup tables, collections, relations, etc. gets 
done. 

Another big goodie is that trails have a default list, search and edit page for 
all POJOs, which are plain Tapestry html/page combos.  Also, there are 
ant/maven tasks to generate individual list or edit pages for POJOs. 

Then theres the fairly easy to use acegi security (I use a separate site to the 
same database for "unsecure" pages out of lazyness), with an ant task to add 
and another to initialize (create default tables for admin, etc.) 

Really, I can't see why you _souldn't_ use trails for everything and then 
changes the bits you need to change. If you need to do heavy whiz-bang end-user 
pages, at least you'll have your administrative pages for free. 

Cheers,
PS
