I think a web page generator from action/model would be a huge shot in the
arm. Of course it would need to be gussied up a bit, but doing these by
hand is a leach on time. I recall a product back in the day that would
generate pages from db tables.
The is a company in Brazil that has a product like this (can't remember
their name now). Met the folks last Oct and helped them see how s2 could
be leveraged as another action framework - they were using JSF and s1.
There is also J2EE Spider that is open source, and also Brazilian in origin.
Although, I have to say, this approach is great for admin or pure
data-to-tables apps, but most customs apps I write are not this
simplistic when it comes to middle and data tiers.
Perhaps it's now open source and could be
leveraged? And then there is the persistence nightmare -- but I have found
Db4o solves that problem quite nicely.

Web Design :). I can code it in a few days, but getting it to look pretty
so that users don't complain, thats a b**ch.
Seriously though, one of the things we could do is a something link Suns
blueprints or a cookbook of code recepies where we have pages which show and
explain the code solutions to common problems.
I know there are some bits and bobs around, and there are some sample
webapps, but it would be nice to have thinks like the the
S2/Spring2/JPA/Ajax page at
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html in
one place along with some others.

Since it's friday, let me pose a question to the group ...
Even with rock-solid frameworks like Apache Struts, it still seems
like web application development takes longer than it should. Some
frameworks, like Ruby on Rails, speak directly to "time to market"
concerns and have been gathering many followers.
But why does web application still seem so difficult or so
time-consuming? Are there time bandits that still suck days or weeks
out of your development schedule? Are there time gremlins that
"nickel-and-dime" you every hour of every day? Is there anything more
that frameworks like Apache Struts can do to help? Or are just there
intractable problems with web development itself?
Thoughts? :)
