Spring-On-Rails

Simple idea, great benefit

What is Spring-On-Rails?

Spring-On-Rails is a rapid Java Enterprise Application development Framework, distantly related to Ruby-on-Rails. Spring-On-Rails is designed to help developers generate a basic skeleton of CRUD-type applications. The generated application is based upon the Spring Framework, Ibatis and Hibernate for Java in the middle tier.

The basic process of Spring-On-Rails development is very simple: define an object/relational mapping, then run an ant task or maven archetype + plugin to generate the project structure.

This generates a simple create/update/read/delete web or web service application. It's early in its lifecycle; hopefully others will find it useful.

It's licensed under the ASL 2.0.
