I haven't tried out Click (yet), but if it looks interesting to you,
definitely give it a shot since they are including Cayenne support as part
of the out-of-the-box experience.
I've used Cayenne inside Tapestry apps and it'll work there, too, but I
wouldn't call it seamless. Especially with the newer Tapestry 4.x releases
where it wants to serialize your Cayenne DataObjects into the HTML it
renders as HIDDEN form elements. This causes deserialization errors. If
you go the suggested route of using a DataSqueezer, you'll be OK. Both of
these options, though, introduce security concerns. As does including the
primary key as part of the form data. I'm not sure how Click handles these
issues, but with Tapestry, you have to be careful to not expose internal
data if you care about security. (Never trust the user to send you the
"correct" HTML back to the server -- I can edit the FORM data in my browser
and change PKs/etc and mess you up.)
