I take a Cayenne database model, run it through Velocity and create a combination of nine struts-config files, validator xml files, java actions, and velocity templates for generating reports on database entities and creating/editing database entities. Cayenne takes the same database model, runs it through velocity and creates database layer objects. I just give my ant task a database table entity and out comes a report component and editing tool. The only thing I might do afterward is swap a few fields on the html.vm template to organize the form differently. That and update my main struts-config.xml file to include all of the new pieces. So it's certainly doable. -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
