Hellu,

I have quite some tables and need to make web screens for maintenance.

I am thinking about generating these screens through the direct use of the hibernate java objects. Something like: looping through the members and put them in an input box on the screen through a velocity template.. and do some filtering through configuration.

Before I make this I like to know what currently exists in this area and maybe some advice on how to do this ?

I looked ad middlegen struts plugin, some mailing list entries in this list, but... hmmm no it didn't find the solution I am looking for.

Ofcourse you can use dbforms, ... did it but wasn't really happy about it... and to keep everyting sychroon is very valuable especially for a products that is updated frequently.

Please some feedback,
Ed Bras

Have a look at Naked Objects.

Had a look at it.
Look nice, and the test on serverside comes out quite nicely.
However, as I see it it concerns quite some change in current hibernate generated objects, or not ?
Should it be an idea to use cglib to change the current hibernate objects during runtime ?

Did you use the naked objects ?

No, didn't try it yet. As far as I know, there is no out-of-the-box solution for your specific problem. Hibernate is often used in more complex applications, where a generic user interface doesn't make sense. It would be great however if someone can bind Naked Objects to Hibernate in an easy-to-use way.
