The scaffolding term is borrowed from the Rails/Grails folks. Basically, it automatically generates a view that will show you a list of beans, allow you to view, create, edit, and delete them all individually. > You show a method, getDescription, with a bunch of annotations on them.

It's a pure hibernate DAO, essentially. The example application is pieced together with Spring, since that's what I'm familiar with and it allows me to put something together with little effort by copy/pasting stuff from other projects that I know work. > Also, does wicketopia depend on Spring?

Take a look at the pom.xml files: https://wicketopia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicketopia/trunk/pom.xml https://wicketopia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicketopia/trunk/persistence/pom.xml https://wicketopia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicketopia/trunk/hibernate/pom.xml https://wicketopia.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wicketopia/trunk/jpa/pom.xml There are modules that depend on Spring (spring-security and domdrides), but you don't have to use them. > Perhaps when I can understand what Wicketopia is without having to UTSL, I'll > consider giving it a try.
