Accessing pre-existing data

Hi list.

The next problem I have to face in evaluating the frameworks, is: "How
do I access pre-existing data?"
In my special case, we have a centralized data store for "personnel
master data", that I need to access. This resides on a database server
that won't necessarily be the one that the app is running on.

I am sure, I can figure out how to fine tune hibernate to manage two
connections, but how much does this impact the remaining Trails stack?

Another application area would be, to use Trails to re-write existing
web-applications (e.g. because the code is *so* old or messed up).
The only approach that comes to my mind (I am not into java frameworks
yet -- just starting) is, create the new business logic from scratch
with trails and then (backup and) migrate the existing data (similar
to the model evolution problem discussed before).

Kind regards,
Daniel
