There is squidhead. http://squidhead.riaforge.org/ >> auto-generated DB components takes some digging and learning. That it does. I wrote some templates and some helper CFC's for Illudium that generates an app for an entire DB on the fly. One of these days I will get around to cleaning it up putting it up on RIAforge. >> auto-generated DB components That is what hibernate does. Something like hibernate (along with cfdbinfo) will make auto-generating apps very easy. Once this gets release into the wild I predict that there will be a good number of ROR type generators coming out of the CF-woodwork. I know that I already have one brewing in my head. I for one am very excited the direction that CF is going. I can't wait to write cfc's with just cfscript.
