Hmm. No. I don't think you can have this combined with what is often
called "business logic". A lot of stuff is described in the db model,
but that's only one thing.
What about process flows, permissions, login handling, session
handling, design, performance optimization and so on?
I use WebObjects (http://www.apple.com/webobjects) as my main
development environment and I found that every application is unique
in a good percentage of its features.
For "administration" application the included DirectToWeb-Framwork in
combination with a powerful community based framework
("ProjectWonder") is a VERY powerful tool when it comes to rapid
development. It saves me days and weeks of work - I just couldn't do
my job anymore without it and developing applications in a "standard
way". But it has a very steep learning curve and is sometimes hard to
handle and often frustration - until you learn how not to fight the
tool.
Frontend applications like online shops, portals and so on are then
developed in a more conventional way with components and handwritten
xhtml/css.
If you have a Mac for development it's worth a look. Deployment can
go anywhere (in theory - we have only used Linux and Mac OS X Server
so far) as long as a Java runtime is installed.
