GSoC 2008: We're in the home stretch

Well folks, I can't believe it's almost over. What a journey. I never imagined I'd be able to do this. I have an (almost) working project. I have a few more things that need to be done.

Let's highlight what IS done:

1. GroovyForm and its related metadata is stored
2. Model class is interrogated for its properties and those are stored in a container class.
3. From the data collected in the container class, I generate markup checking for a predefined set of data types.
   
4. The view and its related controller is generated -- sneaking in some groovy magic of course!
5. GroovyForms are successfully saved into the system, along with their respective, model, view and controller.
6. Forms are persisted when the module is shutdown and reloaded when it is restarted

What's left:

1. Editing metadata related to the forms currently in the system
2. Writing the servlet which handles submissions
3. Create some sample forms
   
4. Documentation

I did plan to add a lot of other stuff such as the ability to create custom form widgets, however there were a few problems which caused me to redirect my focus. These will come in after I finish with Summer of Code.
