Now this could save weeks of work :).

I'm tend to learn Python just to be able to have such functionality quickly :). Not even the Rails scaffolding seems to be so powerful :).

Cayenne seems to have even this:
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/generic-persistent-class.html
So it could work even without the cayenne detailed mapping and class generation from a reversed database scheme.

> One of the most efficient features of Django (no wonder that google selected it for it's AppEngine) is the automatic Admin Interface. See a detailed chapter in this onlinebook:
> http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter06/
> This django approach has a few advantages over other similar solutions:
> - it's not a simple CRUD, but advanced with filtering.
> - it's not generated, but "live".
> - it's complete (even login protection)
> - it's completly customizable (the UI, the behavior, the style, etc.)
> - it's very fast to learn it and very simple: even a non-programmer can "wrap" an existing database with such and advanced UI in a few minutes just following the tutorials.
> Please add such functionality to Click too (with Cayenne, but please no Spring).
> In case of using Cayenne, it might be even simpler to implement that it was for Django, since no reverse engineering of the DB is required: the Cayenne config files contain all the required entities and relationships (and there's also support for "generic entites").
> Also the Django style files could be reused as they are since the license allows this.
> This is something no other Click concurrent framework has (in the javaland).
> Thank you very much in advance,
> Gustav.
