Actually what I want - simple DB with simple User Interface. Like MS Access, but for web and it can be without Dragn n Drop, but described with markup language.
For example if I want to create list report, then i need to write something like:
<table query="SELECT * from mytable"></table>
It needed for simple data applications. In that kind application no programming logic required. Just working with DB. Changing DB data and showing it.

2The nearest solution I found at that moment - use ZK framework. Disadvantage - I must create JPA beans and DAO, but on other side - I do not need to create data structure directly in DB.
Access 2010 allows you to use the same development process you always used. And, you get forms, sub-forms, continues forms and really nice reports. You don't have to know any HTML or see any kind of Markup language.
And, while you can do a lot without any coding, the code that you do write inside of a form does results in that coding running INSIDE of the web browser on the users desktop (it converted to JavaScript). So the resulting applications respond very well to user inputs and often do so without a round trip to the server.
Here is a video of an application I done using the new access Web features. Note how at the half way mark in the video I switch to running the application 100% in the browser.
