Is anyone familiar with the concept of creating a generic UI framework
that allows one to write an application with only business object
attributes and methods?

I am really intrigued by the possibility of using Cayenne's rich
metadata to build a generic UI (probably web-based in my case) that
would work for lots of different application domains.
I looked into the concept of naked objects last year sometime and then
forgot about it because the current implementation at
http://www.nakedobjects.org seemed rather unintuitive, had no security,
and seemed to lacked scalability.
But recently my company has chosen a new ERP that uses a concept
similar to this (using Oracle packages instead of objects and a mostly
generic Windows UI). I started to realize that this concept really
could scale if the framework was coded right and was more intuitive.
I'll keep looking into this. Hopefully I can come up with a generic
web UI framework for Cayenne data objects that I can open source.
Any thoughts?
