I've finally had a chance to try out the super-easy SQL/Form integration that Sylvain announced last month on the cocoon-dev mailing list. It really is pretty straightforward, and it somehow feels more 'right' to throw objects around in flowscript rather than using SQL Transformer.
It's still not as quick to get up and running as Rails, but it's not bad: in just a few hours this afternoon, I've got the basics of a CRUD application working. It's much less scary than having to get Hibernate or OJB working, and less hassle than writing all the relevant beans. There's some places I'd like some magic to happen with dynamically-generated flowscript and jx from database metadata, but I guess that can follow in time.
Right, back to the app ...
