Check out DODS - a Java visual tool for generating an object mapping (in Java) http://dods.enhydra.org/
It has a great GUI and is fairly easy to use and create the objects. I've used it and can send some screenshots if your interested. I'd rather see a robust query interface into MiddleKit first though. Right now I am converting a project that I started w/ DODS into webware and that is the feature that I miss most. I can build a query in DODS by calling methods such as callLogQuery.addWhereClause( callLogTable.State, "NJ", QueryBuilder.EQUALS) callLogQuery.addWhereClause( "extention", "1111", QueryBuilder.EQUALS) callLogQuery.addWhereClause( "duration", "60", QueryBuilder.GREATER_THAN) I'm actually trying to figure out the best way to handle this type of query builder in webware/python today. I'm building a reporting engine and I want a clean set of classes to handle the query. On the other hand I'll never need to cache the result, or even view the records as objects - so I'm not sure if I should try to integrate this into MiddleKit or now.
