It's a bit out of scope here, but I'll try to keep it short: Pre- and postconditions are nice for methods in all classes, not only in Spring services. Today, if we wanted to have them in the Java cartridge, too, then we would have to copy the template code that is currently in the Spring cartridge and put it once again in the Java cartridge. How does M2M-T change this picture? Well, the Spring cartridge would not contain templates for Java classes any more but would transform the Spring service from the UML model into an abstract syntax tree (AST) representation that would be interpreted by templates which reside in the Java cartridge. This AST would be an instance of the Java metamodel. The pre- and postconditions would simply be nodes in that AST. That way, *any* cartridge could emit pre- and postconditions without knowing how to produce code for them. This knowledge would be centralized in the Java cartridge. Different example: The AST produced by the Spring cartridge could be passed to a C# cartridge which would generate the pre- and postconditions in C#. This assumes the existence of an "NSpring" framework, of course. Anybody going to write it? :D Cheers... Matthias -- Matthias Bohlen "Consulting that helps project teams to succeed..."
