That'd be nice if it would be possible at all. On the other hand, EOs are *not* beans, so I don't know if you can actually do this and still have all the benefits they have from not being beans. But a bit of experimenting in aspect-j would probably be fun. >> So it's not D2W, but it's probably good enough to be workable.

So it's just a matter of having a reasonable editor (and have someone who writes it). And Roo seemed to take care of most of the XML stuff for you (they have their own IDE based on eclipse). That is *not* to say I'm advertising this at all or recommending it or whatever. It's just something I stumbled across that has a few things I would like to have: - JPA means deployment in app engine - halfway-decent CRUD support - halfway decent GWT/Ajax/JSON support - servlet based -> failover, less state, etc Oh, and it's open-source :) Cheers, Anjo _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
