Trails have this, and also shows dates as datefields, OneToMany as a working klickable list (with new and delete below) and ManyToOne as a drop-down Option.
It also includes aceti security, where the users and roles are also listable and editable in the very framework, since they're also just tables. Supports hsqldb, postgresql and mysql. I use mysql and just let trails fix all the list and edit pages as well as the hibernation stuff, then I add annotations until I've hidden as much as I please, then use Tapestry when needed. Very sweet. This is current subversion, though. https://trails.dev.java.net/ Cheers, PS On 3/16/06, Jesse Kuhnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You might want to check out the trails project, but I don't know if this > edit page exists anywhere yet.
