just draw a dependency from your service to your entity read this howto: http://team.andromda.org/docs/andromda-spring-cartridge/howto3.html > 2. If I would want to make my own cartridges (have not yet done so or read > about it :( ... ), i.e. all my entity pojo's must inherit from a base > class, custom dao and service layers, ... Shouldn't this also be modeled > in uml? Because I 'think' that know I just create templates for the most > part or am I wrong? > if you create your own cartridge you'll want to create new meta-model (describing how people should model for your cartridge) similar to writing an XML Schema for XML documents > 3.
