I tried something completely out-of-mainstream (I guess) in the last 2 hours: I used the simple http server that comes with Java 6 and implemented a handler. >From there I take the url that has been used for the request. If that url contains for example "/edit/" I build a filename with .html extension I look into my application folder into an appropriate subfolder and load the html. Then I could replace some variables if I like with something I get from a database or so. Last but not least I dump it to the response. Now I can start Open Office and voi-la I have a WYSIWYG Web GUI editor for the form. In Open Office I can even set the form action url, form control names and so on. There I can set to use other urls containing e.g. "/update/" when submitting the form. For urls containing "/update/" for example I can do the appropriate work directly in my little http server code. Finished is my tiny little web framework including GUI editor. No extra web server, no extra application server, no extra framework. And response of that thing is in an instant! OK, might not scale well, the Open Office generated html will be nice and blablabla, but who cares - a simple solution was asked.
