Mapping the domain to the web UI

With Plain we wanted some way simple to get data from the domain model to the UI and back.

We already had a mapping implemented from a previous project that could map properties to fields in the UI. What we wanted to change was the dependencies and flexibility of the mapping. Currently all we have to do is name the fields on the form and tell the system what object type to work on to provide CRUD out of the box with plain.

We have one thing left to do on the mapping part. We want lists of values to be filled out automatically. Our Validation component might be what we need to use to be able to do that. More on the Validation component in another post.
