Frank and myself been looking at exactly what you plan here... After I worked on
*OMGenerator for a bit I realized that we needed a more flexible solution. I've
started
something small but I've been really busy with a deadline so it's not actually working
yet
:-)
The basic idea was to use it as a replacement for *OMGenerator, but also to be
extendable
to create action and screen .java files (albeit very *basic* ones :-). At the moment I
got it going that it takes JDBCSchemaToDabaseMap and xml definition as input. This
xml
definition then determines the out of the file. In other words you can set up this xml
definition file to generate anything from the DatabaseMap data, like peer/map/om
classes
but also some basic screen classes.
I'll spend some time on it and upload it on Friday.

ps I've done most if it using JDOM beta4 because I wanted to get something going as
quickly as possible. If we're going to do this more formal this might be a problem :-)
