HI
Torque/Hibernate are persistence layers. You give them database schema in XML and get Data Objects and SQL scripts etc.
Actually I am thinking to create a framework that you just give your db schema in XML form like you do for torque/hibernate and it will create the data objects using toque/hibernate, generating JSP source code, linking of torque/hibernate objects with appropriate JSP page.
E.g. In database you have a table AUTHOR. Now you want to insert/update/delete authors. The framework will create a page to add authors[The code generator can customize the pages to any theme provided], one page for update of authors and one page for deletion of authors and the like. i.e. you can customize the page generation e.g. create only add page and update page, don't create delete page. The framework will take the input of fields for each database field. i.e. against this field you want a textfield or radio or combo etc. the framework will provide necessary scripting also. e.g. a database field of Number datatype can have a display text field that only accepts numbers[generated script will do it].
Now the framework will bind the created JSP/VM page with torque/hibernate Objects itself and also produce a ctrl page where add/update pages will be posted in order to perform the action.
In short, using the existing projects like velocity, torque, jsp, hibernate etc, i just wanted to build a project which is capable of providing integrated model, view controller layers of such projects by just a button click .
All of this is just a thought. I just wanted to confirm from velocity community that is there any the like open source thing already exists?
Also will velocity serve the purpose as far as code generation is concerned.
Please comment and suggest. I'm excited about this project.

Hi Rana,
Is there any tool/framework available that you just give it the database schema and it creates the jsp pages for you. Like GUIs for add/edit/delete cases and a controller page where all pages will be submitted. Is there any such jsp code generator available.
I'm not aware of such tools, but the torque project might give you a clue on how to do it. http://db.apache.org/torque/
#* First time I've ever heard of "creating JSP with Velocity". :) I wonder if anybody uses Velocity to create Velocity templates. I might need to add vtl to the EscapeTool. (half joking, half...) *#
Best regards, -- Shinobu
