So I've come up with an alternative : a vet's practice. There are animals, species and patient history data. So the number of screens would be very limited : welcome (choose a patient), consult patient's file and add new incident to file. I'll furnish the database scripts for oracle and mysql. I'm also looking into xdoclet to auto-generate deployment descriptors for at least jboss, weblogic and maybe jrun.

The Forrest project from Apache is looking very promising.  Source 
documentation format is in XML and the tag set is very accesible.  Using 
the provided XSLT stylesheets you can generate HTML, PDF, etc.

You can see the examples at:
