I like the idea.
Me too :-)
But i am very very disapointed bc of the very little feedback to my
mail. Actually your mail is the only feedback :-(
So it seems that noone is realy interested in code generation /
prototyping tools!?
This is very sad. I realy expected more feedback on this topic.
And i'm not going to waste my time on a tool which obviously noone
need/want.
____So please ppl, if you want to have such a tool give me some
feedback!!!!!____
I have been working on a bean panel where I had some - unimplemented -
idea's for detail editing as well. Haven't found the time yet to
finish it though.
Code generation is the other way around though. That can be very
powerful too, and is usually easier to customize later on.
I think the ideal toolkit would be a combination of both: something
that generates code for you (in such a way that you can customize
extension code, but that you can regenerate whenever you want), but
that produces code that is smarter than just static binding everything
too.
You don't like Ruby? It's on my list to learn. From what I've read, I
like it, though when I played around with it a bit, I immediately
missed code completion and documentation hoovers etc. I'm an IDE guy
that's loves all the little productivity boosters and analyses tools
(like java inheritance hierarchy views, call hierarchy views, etc)
modern Java IDE can give you. But Ruby is supposed to be very good
with text processing, so you/ we might even consider using Ruby for
code generation. Otoh, Velocity is easy and good in this too.
To my the ruby language has a syntax which is to far away from C-syntax
style.
And this is something i don't like at all...
And i also don't like the idea of dynamic typed variables.
There are serveral other things which i don't like about it.
Cu,
Dave

Hi!
Today i read a pretty much interesting article about Ruby on Rails (RoR).
First things first. I don't like ruby.
But: The Aproach of Ruby on Rails is very impressing and provides a
effective way to write standard Web-Apps.
So i like the way how wicket works much. And now i am thinking about to
adopt some ideas of Ruby on Rails to wicket.
The most interesting and time saving aspect of RoR is that it has mayn
scripts to automaticly generate Formulars and Lists so that you can deal
with Datas which mostly comes from a Database.
I think a similary tool could be made for Wicket.
The features i think of are somehting likt this:
-Gernation of Formulars and Lists from the Strucure of a certain
Database-Table (Or JavaBean Class).
Which includes the generation of: Wicket-Class, Wicket-HTML-File and
that all already ready with all necessary connections and handling to
the database or the JavaBean object.
This generated "Prototype" can then be customized to the needs of the
specific project.
But mostly this is not even neccessary if the generator generates stuff
that fits on most common use casses (Of course with pretty basic User
Interface :-)).
So i think all this can be pretty easy implemented (It's a lot of work,
but the principle is pretty clear and easy i think).
My question now to you guys is:
1. Is already someone writing such a Generator?
2. What do you guys think about this idea? (Please stay on the way of
what the tool should be able to do. Please no discussion about how to
implement it bc that comes later!)
Thanks,
Dave
