    This is a very interesting area that I've also been working on for 20+ years. I've found that using a standard POJO makes high level productivity for medium to high complexity applications not possible. Here is an example of actual code less development. 8 minute overview video:

    That is pretty cool. WOW kind of takes over where RAP leaves off. RAP is about building the database and the data layer, then it leaves you to code the upper levels by hand (although it provides strict templates for these). WOW presumes the existence of a database already. It strikes me as being similar to the MS Access form generation tools, with a wizard built in (proabaly MS Access has such a wizard too; I haven't really used it in years).
