Runtime dynamic form/jsp from XML

[Andrew B Forman <an...@wcom.com>]

project: create an xml-driven set of screens within the struts framework.

concept: we're attempting to create a rapid-release framework for rolling
out new products.  the idea is to have a portion of the framework driven
by xml.  the xml would contain information on what fields to display to
the user, validation rules for the fields, bean routing & database mappings
for that bean to use.  all this fun stuff would be assembled at runtime
into a jsp using a dynaForm with a map for all the form data.  after
form submittal, the validation is run, the map is sent to the bean
which uses the db mappings & a insert/update/delete parameter to tell
it what to do where.

question: in searching the archives i've found plenty of references to
people wanting to develop similar projects - but very little concrete
information on how one might accomplish it =).

has anyone built a system similar to this?
 (especially someone who's code i could have =)

any suggestions on better design/methedology?

much thanks,
andrew
