I'm in the process of wrapping up an Early Access version of a web toolkit which has been designed to take advantage of Hibernate detached objects. If anyone in the hibernate community would be interested in taking a look at the EA SDK, I would be very interested in listening to any feedback/advice Hibernators might have concerning how best to improve the toolkit itself and support Hibernate integration in particular.

Thanks,

Since everyone seems to be too framework-jaded to even think about responding to my post (and who can blame you... there are scores of Java web frameworks out there!), here is my pitch to you that this framework is not going to be irrelevant:

Introduction (Motivations and Goals)

http://www.muppetlabs.com/~jonl/intro.html

Quick Demos (Source Code to Look At)

http://www.muppetlabs.com/~jonl/teasers.html

I personnally use Tapestry if given the choice. I had a look at you examples first and thought that it looks like a combo of Echo and Tapestry. I similed when thats exactly what you said in the intro. Wish you the best with your project. As much as I think it has potential, marketing it is the difficult part.
