creating a crud framework using spring

[analogueboy]

I'm thinking about developing a small framework that would allow a developer to use JPA to annotate his entities and then use hibernate to take care of persistence and spring mvc to create all the screens necessary for a crud application using reflection. Trails already have something similar, but work on the Spring branch seems to have stopped and it depends on tapestry classes which swells the dependencies even more.

I aim to detect the classes that have been annotated and use spring to create the crud screens (plus list and search) using jsp because I want to make it as easy as possible to use.

Is anyone else interested in getting involved or is anyone else working on something similar at the moment?

I've been looking into trails' spring mvc branch and it seems to be more capable than I'd thought, going to play with it a little more to see what needs to be done and if some of the dependencies can be removed
