First off, which version of Tapestry are you using? And what version of
Java?
I've used Cayenne with Tapestry 3 and 4 and store my Cayenne DataContext
in the session. The session handling has changed a bit between T3 and
T4, though (at least if you don't want deprecation warnings littering
your code), but the concept still works. For example, one of my
listener methods (on an "Update" button) does:
public void update()
{
getSession().getDataContext().commitChanges();
}
In WebObjects it would've been
session().defaultEditingContext().saveChanges().
I've not used JBoss for development, though. I develop using Jetty and
deploy on Tomcat.
I'm not super-knowledgeable on Hibernate, but Cayenne is much more
EOF-like. If you like what EOF does for the most part, Cayenne is a
good choice.

Subject: accessing cayenne sessions
Hi
I am a newbie to Cayenne but I have been developing with WebObjects for
a
few years and though I would try something open source. I have been
reading
a few articles on getting the DataContext namely this one
http://www.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAYDOC/Web+Applications
but it
still leaves me a little bit confused.
My set up is Cayenne with Tapestry deployed to JBoss using Eclipse as
the
development platform. So my questions are
* What is the best way of retrieving the session context (DataContext)
on a
given page and tracking the changes over a workflow and eventually
committing the changes or discarding them?
* Can I do the same using Tapestry to achieve the same results i.e. are
there any Tapestry calls for getting the Session
* Are there any convenient methods for accessing the Session like in
WebObjects where there is a session class in the application?
* I have read some people opt to use Tapestry, Spring and Hibernate.
What
are the advantages if there are any and can you use Tapestry, Spring and
Cayenne?
Thank you very much for your help and apologies if all the answersw are
somewhere in this mailing list.
