AppFuse doesn't do in-memory scaffolding - just generated-files type
scaffolding. I'd love to enhance its Struts 2 flavor to support what
you're talking about.

I'm not an appfuse user, but I would assume that my idea is probably
slightly
different. I want the JSP results auto-created in memory within the
running
app. What I am thinking is that you could start with models (JDO,
JPA, or
Hibernate entities), then, with this "plugin" requests for CRUD
operations
will just "appear"... I guess it would be similar to REST, but not a
web
service. So, if you have an entity called Person with firstName,
lastName, and
birthday properties, you could request -
http://host:port/app/person/list
and be presented with a (paginated) list of all the people in the
database,
then when you click one, it auto-creates a page with a form for
editing the
properties. Add and delete would be available as well. To expand the
idea, I
would also like links on each of the pages generated for "edit" to
present
more links to manage any related entities.
The key here is the list/create/edit/delete/manage related entities
pages are
all created in memory when the request happens or when the app
starts (or by
command line). The form and validation is created based on the types
of the
properties and other entity metadata.
My thinking is that with a plugin like this, the sitemesh plugin and
a set of
JPA entities, it'd be possible to ajax web-app up and running with
no effort.
Maybe AppFuse already does this, I'll go check it out.
