given a database schemas, is it possible to automatically generate forms for crud operations on the tables?

+1  A: 

MetaWidget was designed for this.

Given that the JPA model contains almost all information necessary for a basic CRUD interface, it's astonishing that there are only so few implementations.

A: 

There are several projects that attempt to ease these common operations.

These are some of the "quick start applications" that intend to have a functional layered project in a few minutes and also provide DAO/service generations from the database schema.

If you use Seam, and using seam-gen it can generate an entire functional crud for you by providing a database.

looks hopeful ... any hints on how to do it with glassfish V3 ? i am hoping not to deploy another webapp.

Shouldn't be too difficult. I know there where some work being done to make this work nicely on Glassfish V3. But I haven't tried it my self. But I am pretty sure it works fine, as many forum postings are about people using Seam with Glassfish

Depending what you mean by J2EE, Spring Roo might be worth a look.
