Generic HTML Form

Does anyone know of a javabean which looks at another javabean, anaylses its getters/setters and then makes an HTML form for a user to create one?

Seems to me like this should have already been written.

Thanks.

JBuilder lets me create a Sample HTML page at the same time as I create a javabean...

But it's just a plain form, and always need changing almost completely...  So I just do it myself ;)

Actually, it also lets me create a sample bean at the same time as a JSP, but for the same reasons, I don't use it...
Yeah, it sounds like it should be really useful but I think it would be more hassle than it's worth in the long run, especially if you have a multipage bean that maps to serveral forms on serveral pages, such as an application form.
And then you have to make the thing look nice ;)
Naw, that's what the designers are for: "Here is my code monkey-boy, go away and beautify it"! I used to do all the HTML for my work and found it repetitive to the nth degree. That was one of the reasons I've moved away from pure presentation layer stuff.
Bah...  I tend to be in a development team of one...

It's all my job :-(  *cry*
