I've hacked together a prototype version of JAWSPersistenceManager that allows a user to interact directly with the database back end, and see what's in various tables and how jBoss is interacting with it. It also allows the user to drop tables and delete individual rows (non-compound PKs only right now). I find this useful during entity bean development because I'm stuck on an NT development environment and it has problems getting the correct date on files, causing difficulties for redeployment. This visual JAWS class allows me to get the database into a sensible state for testing my clients and seeing what they make JAWS do. The prototype is extremely crude and wildly inefficient, I've absolutely no doubt that there are all sorts of of entity beans that will simply make it crash and burn. However, there may be the core of a useful plugin here although it needs considerable refactoring, it should probably be a separate component from JAWS or a subclass or something. I'd be happy to send out the code to anyone who's interested although I've badly mangled the original which was authored by Rickard �berg. Mail me for screenshots or the source.
