Your list of different classes that could be generated gave me an idea.
At one point I was pretty gung-ho on making Town bean-compliant to make
it easier to use in JSPs. I've abandoned that in favor of making a
Taglib based on Town. I thought something like this would be cool...
<table>
<towndataset url="jdbc:odbc..." driver="..." username="..."
password="..." tablename="...">
<tr><td><%=col1name%></td><td><%=col2name%></td></tr>
</towndataset>
</table>
For those not familiar with JSP 1.1's tags, the <towndataset> could
automatically loop through the markup based on the number of records,
setting local variables that match the column names.
Taking your approach, you could have ORMapMaker generate custom tag
libs, so each table/object mapping would get it's own tag. Interesting
to anyone?...
