Hibernate CRUD à la Ruby on Rails' Scaffolding

Question

Do you know of any tool that would do like Ruby on Rails' Scaffolding (create simple CRUD pages for any particular class to allow quickly populating a database with dummy data), only which used Java classes with Hibernate for database access, and JSP/JSF for the pages?

It is a drag when you are programming one part of an application, but need data that can only be added with another part that is not ready yet, or very cumbersomely by directly inserting it into the DB.

Answer 1

Grails is a very nice Rails-like framework built on top of Spring MVC. For persistence, they use GORM, which is basically an ActiveRecord-like framework built on top of Hibernate. Pretty slick.

If you already have Hibernate entities, they can actually be used immediately in Grails with no additional work.
