          I use xml to generate all input fields. But it's similar to database. xml is a kind of database.
          You can use customer tag to generate the form. Inside the tag class you select the form elements from table and construct the form. It's not difficult.
          If you use javascript take care the difference between the IE and Netscape. You better pass a browserType attribute and deal with them differently.
          You should create form element type carefully. Each element can have question type, name , text, validation class, preceding message and so on. Each element can have a toHtml method.
          for the jsp you can:
          tag to get connection.
          tag for the form
          tag for each form element.
          Hope this can give you some idea.
