I know data binding as you get beans to access data (stored in a relational
system or XML data). You could use Castor here (www.castor.org).

Seems like you want ready to use (generated or generic) graphical beans you
can plug together in a GUI builder? Someone once told me JBuilder comes
with such features, but do not use JBuilder and never verified that
statement.

I'm using NetBeans to develop in, but I think you might be right about
JBuilder. Delphi had data aware controls so perhaps Borland moved some
of the technology to JBuilder. I will check it out.

Oracle's JDeveloper looks like it is more like a
persistence mechanism than anything else (TopLink) and I want the
business rules to reside in the back end (Firebird SQL) than in Java
classes.

Actually you are mixing two things. TopLink is a framework for mapping
java objects to databases and managing persistent etc.

JDeveloper - is a Java development IDE that among other things include
a framework that also takes care of interacting with a database.

If you are trying to build applications that are bound to database
objects there are many ways you can go for in mapping your Java
objects to the tables (EJB and JDBc are a couple).

Anyway, have a look at JDeveloper and the ADF framework to see how is
it works for building database oriented applications.
