Adam Crump, one of the guys on my team has released a Dreamweaver MX extension he created called CFC Bean:
"CFC Bean is a command extension to generate a java style Bean implemented as a ColdFusion MX Component. You simply add the properties required for your bean, and CFC Bean will generate an init method, get and set methods for each property, and if selected getInstance, and setInstance methods. CFC Bean is very useful for creating beans for use with the MachII framework and bean work in general."
We've been using CFC Bean here for a few months now, and it's saved us a ton of time in the creation of our Mach-II beans.
If you don't use Dreamweaver, there is also a web based bean generator with similar functionality:
Jonathan Block's JavaScript bean generator
And a Homesite version by Christopher Bradford here:
Aura skin for Raymond Camden's BlogCFC inspired by Joe Rinehart & Steven Erat. This blog is running version 5.9.004.
You can send it to me, and I'll forward it along to Adam, or you can contact him directly at acrum(at)amkor(dot)com.
Looking forward to your input...
This sounds a little like the CFC generator I built way back when at Amkor. That actually introspected your DB tables but they are along the same lines. Gotta love code gen.
Great Idea Adam.
I am going to start playing with it.
