There are tools out there that generate classes from datamodels (eg Middlegen) through a templating engine. You could create your own templates that spit out CForms tags/Betwixt mappings instead of the usual DAO java code.
I like the tool, thank for the tip.
I'm not sure what you mean by splitting out CForms tags/Betwixt mappings. Do you mean auto-generating form defition/binding and betwixt mappings from the database definition?
that's what i was implying yes. Unless ofcourse you've customized them so much that they don't resemble the database model anymore...
One way I was thinking sorting out not having to create form beans was the following:
1. On load - bind to the actual business beans
2. On save - bind to XML, then pass the XML to an object that would set the appropriate fields on the actual beans and save them to the database. Basically the same as passing a DAO, but not having to actually create one.
You can use custom javascript bindings as Sylvain already said. And apparently by looking at his post you can bind to an existing bean without overwriting some of its attribute values. Keep us posted !
