Seriously though, my knee jerk reaction was to write all the reasons this couldn't work. But instead, I think you should go ahead and start trying to build it. In the end even if you fail you'll have learned a great deal, and at least have created some code worth turning into libraries.
- jclos 14y agoI was about to respond the same thing - any advanced enough framework (Rails and Grails are the only two I'm familiar with) that supports scaffolding is, in some way, a CRUD generator. In the sense that once you have modelled your domain properly (including what constraints apply to your data) it generates web forms to manipulate your data.
