Taking Turbine one step further

[BoonThai Hoh <hb...@swiftinnovation.com>]

Hi all,
I have been using Turbine/Torque for all our clients the past year or so 
and I really like to let all the contributing developers know how much I 
appreciate the hard work. The thing I like about the Turbine is that it 
allows me to get a basic webapp up and running in no time. But once that is 
done, I find myself going through a very repetitive routine.  Most of what 
I do for every new client is
1) add tables to the XML schema file
2) create a secured screen class and associated .vm file to display a list 
of the new table's content for authorized users
3) create a secured action class add/edit/delete data in the new table for 
authorized users
4) create a non-secured screen and associated .vm to display content of the 
new table for anonymous users

Torque is intelligent enough to generate the om classes to access the 
table, so I just thought it will be great if there is a similar ant task 
(akin to how Torque generate the om classes) that will generate everything 
in step 2) to 4) and maybe even a basic table of content(site map) screen 
to access these functionalities.  This new ant task can read in a config 
XML file that tells it what table to generate the functionalities 
for.  With a task like this, someone with very little java skill can even 
create a webapp that comes complete with all the advantages of Turbine 
(security, caching, MVC etc...).

Is there already something that does what I am looking for? If not, then is 
anyone interested in a new task like this? I am more than happy to help out 
if there is interest in this.
