submit form and store data in database using tapestry

Question

I have been praticing tapestry for form submission and submitting data into database using hibernate.

I am referring below two links for it.

https://tapestry.apache.org/using-beaneditform-to-create-user-forms.html
https://tapestry.apache.org/using-tapestry-with-hibernate.html

But making form in these links is given using beaneditform component.

But I don't want to use beaneditform and just make a normal html/tml submit form and store data to database. How can I do it? Please help.

Main reference page for Tapestry Forms & Validation can be found here: https://tapestry.apache.org/forms-and-validation.html

Use t:Form, t:TextField, and other form components if you need finer control of your form elements & layout.

BeanEditForm is a helper component that allows quickly generate form for a given JavaBean. This component is just a mix of t:Form + t:BeanEditor.

You can also try one of the Jumpstart examples, i.e.:
