It did take a little work:-) As I said somewhere in all that stuff, I've been 
toying with generators for a couple years. Each one got a little better, but 
nothing I was proud of. What got me going again was trying to port something I 
did in RoR to Active4D. It was taking me forever to build a basic CRUD design 
before I could move on to the more complex tasks of displaying and scoring 
assessments.  I mentioned that project in a post about a simple Json parse 
method <http://old.nabble.com/Simple-json-parse-td25896472.html> .  While I 
wrote the parser to be able to store Json in the database and get it back as a 
collection, I realized that I could define the database structure in Json (one 
of the weaknesses in past generators) and I started woking on Restful Active4D 
and a new generator.  

Yesterday I generated a rest version of that generic assessment application in 
about a half hour - so it was worth it for me.
