RE: [SPAM] - repost : creation of UI from DB - Bayesian Filter de tected spam

[Guillermo Meyer <gm...@interbanking.com.ar>]

You could generate different Skins (for example using Xkins at
http://xkins.sourceforge.net) and the user can choose the one that he or
she likes. 
But creating user's own skin on the fly... Xkins doesn't support it
nowadays, but i think it could be done. May it be a new feature for
Xkins.

You could have different pre created Xkins templates, for example,
different:
A) Buttons types (using images, using buttons)
B) Forms or frames styles
C) Fields styles (label + data construction)
D) Color palette
Etc, etc...

And you could guide the user through a wizard by selecting this pre
created templates styles and finally, create a new Skin for the user
combining this templates and store it as a skin for a particular user in
xkins definition.

Let me know what you think and may i add this feature to Xkins.

Cheers.
Guillermo.

With the "generate then deploy" approach, jsp pages are generated at
development-time using external screen configuration (XML files, db,
...). Then you deploy your application normally. The goal is to reduce
development time, not to support user-customization at runtime.

I think what you need is "on-the-fly" generation. I've never done this.

For look and feel, you could provide different stylasheets (.css) 

When you say "the user will customize how and what data he wants to
see", what is the scope of this customization ?  Selection of columns to
display in a table ?  Adding/removing fields in a form ?  Location of
those fields ?
