Trails: RAD That Ain't Bad

The Trails framework aims to take a new approach to Rapid Application Development in Java using proven frameworks like Spring, Tapestry, and Hibernate. By eliminating redundant steps in the development process and stressing convention over configuration, Trail can greatly accelerate development of RDBMS persistent web applications.

In this session, we'll build a real Trails application in a few minutes, and then dive into the details of how Trails works and how to customize it to your heart's content. We'll also cover how Trails provides features you need to build real application such as validation, internationalization, and security.
