I started on something simple that autogenerates
primary key class, data bean class, jdbc class, and an
ActionForm based off an xml file that can be generated
from a table in a database. I'm not sure it is worth
continuing with other projects out there (Castor), but
what I started seems a little simpler and it generates
the basic code I would have written anyway. There
isn't much in the way of documentation right now, but
I thought I would post this anyway and see if there
was interest in this.
