I had a similar thought..  However, I ended up using DbForms
(www.dbforms.org).  Dbforms does a good job of providing fairly basic
database centric GUI.  It allows you to build all your JSP pages off of an
XML representation of your DB via XSL.  A friend of mine wrote an XSL
stylesheet to transform between Torque's format and Dbfroms format.

I also added in some of the foreign key stuff from torque to my custom
DbForms XSL stylesheets so that the pages would be forign key aware...

If you like I can share my code, and show you the db stuff in action...

Subject: generating UI along with class files


Hi,

I've been putting together a schema in Torque and one of the things I'm
eventually going to have to get around to doing is putting a generic UI
over the top of it. So I had the thought; if Torque is smart enough to
generate the data layer for a given data schema, shouldn't it be
(easily?) capable of generating the generic UI layer also?

I'll probably start attempting to do so, as I think that once done, it
would save me tons of time, but I just wanted to see if any of the devs
who know the codebase a heck of a lot better than I do had any comments
on its feasibility.

Thanks,
Stephen
