Actually the story had been all about developing a web application with cayenne. Then I decided to develop a web application generator. It is difficult to use Cayenne Modeler for me. It is a good tool, but I do not really like much mouse movements. So to me excel usage would be very easy. I thougth that a sheet describing all details of one table could be enough to succeed. All program details would be included in a excel file.
What is program name ? How many tables in it ? Which table has which columns ? ... Furthermore, I develop a tool for modeling database, with the help of cayenne xml mappings. It generates not only mappings, it generates a whole web application. The answer is yes for the question opensource development. After one or two weeks. I will put this generator to Source Forge. Excel Modeler could be an alternative for Cayenne Swing Modeler. I need support for this. Thanx for your reply. Afsin. On 12/3/06, Andrus Adamchik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Afsin, Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Timezone changes, Cayenne graduation voting and similar excuses :-) There is a bit of a language barrier (that hopefully shouldn't make it a show stopper). You provide the number of details, but I am still in the dark what this tool is going to accomplish. Could you please explain in a few words what the goal is? Is it to access Microsoft Excel spreadsheet data via Cayenne, or is it something else? Also are you developing (or planning to develop) it as an open source project? Cheers, Andrus
