I've used something similar...A lot of the apps I build are very similar table driven forms, ie many insert/updates of tables. Hence My development approach at the moment is based on a generic architecture based around struts. I design the table schemas in xml, then use xslt to generate data access beans, value objects, struts forms, formbeans and struts actions etc. I can then customize the generated code...
