[Building Sakai] Create tool with tables

[Steve Swinsburg]

If you want to use hibernate then go for it. You'll need to wire it up, provide the model objects and the hibernate mappings. It's outlined in the programmers manual on confluence. 

The other issue you get is unrelated. I'd start with a completely fresh tomcat. Also note that the error was from the tool not being able to find a bean. In the tool classes the beans are injected by name so if you change the names you need to make sure its changed in the spring wiring and in the tool. 

Cheers
