x-front is a scaffolding framework I developed in ActionScript/Flex, initially as the final project for my bachelor's degree, around 2007–2009. It generates complete CRUD views not only for the primary entity but also for its associations, using a rich internet application (RIA) front-end for the web. The framework features a complete window management system (similar to Windows, but in the browser), dozens of UI components, and numerous utility objects for handling animations, effects, formatting, rendering, validation, and more. As the technology has become obsolete, I no longer have a live example available. Screenshots of the framework in action are shown below:

Interactive table with multi-level grouping

Search on many-to-one associations with conditionals 'and', 'or', 'like', etc

Quick search on many-to-one associations

Quick search on table (including regular expressions - matches in red)

Validation (automatically generated based on JPA annotations)

Main menu (automatically generated based on entities)

Alerts

Quick search views (Win+R like)

Snap layout
