JDeveloper from oracle can generate a fully functioning Struts webapp (CRUD and Search pages) just by pointing to a schema and using the wizards. It even works with PostgreSQL. I think you have to use BC4J though for your persistence layer. BC4J is free just not open Source.

Wow, hadn't seen that before, only knew of JasperReports.. Thanks for link Vic! Here are some screenshots (thanks Google) of NetDynamics, which will give you a feel for how it allowed a project to define datasources and pages: http://www.exa-corp.co.jp/aps/websolution/images/nd5Studio.gif http://developer.netscape.com/software/tools/listing/application/databas e/NetDynamics/nd_scr_1_small.gif (will need a magnifier for that one!) And, here are some visual interdev shots: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vidref98/html/vi54xk1.gif http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/1607/vi52fd7x.gif And the VB-style of event navigation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dncomg/html/vbscriptcom01.gif Put it all together and use J2EE and Struts as the foundation, and you have a worthy .Net adversary with excellence in engineering!
