I appreciate you guys taking the time to give feedback. Please keep in mind, though, that this has been a one man show and this one man has three kids and a full-time job. :) I'm definitely planning on improving the documentation, but my priority is to add features that help me in my day-to-day work. This project is very young as far as being out there in front of folks, but it's been something that I've been working on for quite some time in my very limited spare time. > - Does this offer static scaffolding (e.g. build time) or runtime?

So, it doesn't really care how you get those objects or how (or if) you save them. There is currently a Hibernate integration module. There is also a Spring Security integration (written last night in about 30 minutes) which allows you to hide/show (or require or disable) properties based on user roles. > - Is there a howto for what appears to be a sample app?

There is plenty of room for improvement and I'll just continue along improving it based on my current needs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
