django-like CRUD generation with JAVA EE6?

Question

Hey!

I just checked out the Netbeans tutorial for auto-generation of CRUD pages. Not bad, but is there any way to generate CRUD pages with Java EE that look a bit more production like? For example like the admin interface generated by Django or Spring ROO. Of course basic features like searching or alphabetic ordering should be included.

Answer 1

Seam 3 is (or will be) very close to what you're looking for and should be able to generate a full Java EE 6 based CRUD application from a database using the seam-gen encore tool. At least, that's part of the the vision. I don't know the exact status of Seam 3 and tools though.
