I was following the very slim tutorial on the Tapestry website for Tapestry 5 and was introduced to very basic database interactions but not how to do user authentication. Where do I go for more comprehensive guidance in tapestry 5? I went to the tapestry wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowTos) but I wasn’t really looking for a bunch of how-to’s. Do you know of any good sources?

you can ‘roll your own’ or use one of the 3rd party modules such as tynamo’s tapestry-security. even if you do write your own, it’s a good idea to see how others have implemented it so have a look at the source.
my first attempt at writing my own security module had me creating a class hierarchy for all my components and pages (inheritance supplied security checks) which does not really follow the tapestry paradigm.
unfortunately it seems fashionable for tapestry and all tapestry modules to have sparse documentation.
