Provide a way to generate DB queries "automatically"

[lucascs]

Use the project: http://github.com/caelum/dynamicRepositoryBuilder that creates the implementation of the queries based on an interface. So you just create an interface like:

   @Component // or other annotation, perhaps
   public interface ProductRepository extends Repository {
       List findByName(String name);
   }

and receive this interface on your components constructor and VRaptor will provide an implementation using the project above.

The core of vraptor is to be a controller framework? I think that use a mixture of "many other things" shifts the vraptor proposal.

In a few times, the vraptor will be an elephant.

But... this is only a opinion of a "Vraptor Lover".

This feature should not be in vraptor-core... It should be a plugin...

VRaptor core will always be a controller... but we can add some helpers for view and model as plugins or addons...
