perhaps take a look at AO - it's a good start at a servlet
engine that packages at least a few of the items you've
highlighted. i'd love to participate in a project that uses
AO, backhand, an o/r mapping tool, and other components to
provide an out of the box 2-tier system. i'd also love to
see an "enterprise" or 3-tier version of same. let's
organize!
i suppose i should get the AO sourceforge site up and
running eh?
