Development tools like JDeveloper etc are great but they just build code.
We have a generic framework that saves building all the bits of development
you see time and again. We have gone along way with this with auto display,
listing, add and edit forms, search etc. Plus lots of real world apps.
Rapid is off the shelf customisable applications and not simply firing up
Java Development Tools to start completely from scratch.
Our experience comes from 2.5 years of web apps in Java and putting in reuse
to save us with the boredom of repetitive work.
Sorry this is abit off topic from Orion. I might add that Orion is our teams
favourite J2EE server by far and we have used most of the major servers.
