Hi Geeks
Attention: Please go to sourceforge.net to look for Rickard Oeberg's
project: EJBDoclet.
Right now we are heading to release 1.0 which should allow you to merge code
as well.
EJBDoclet isn't designed to generated an application but to create all the
duplicated code
within EJBs (remote and home interface, primary key class, Bulk-data object
etc.).
The good side about this is that it doesn't limit you in how you are going
to code your
EJBs. I am very demanding in this subject because I wanna create good EJBs
and not
just a representation of the DB records. I really chease the idea of having
an Enterprise-
wide object containing the business rules (security, business operations,
etc.) and thus
(based on my experience) a lot of code generators failes because they cannot
support
a try n-tier application (mostly the business rules end up to be enforce on
the client-side).
But this is not a judgement on any other code generators (also my actual
company created
a code generator (JSP, Servlets, EJBs and DB schema) based on the UML
design) because
every project has other requests and priorities.
Therefore I don't think that any project is superior to any other but one is
maybe more
appropriate than the other. If you have to make a project fast from the
green table it is
different than when you want to offer enterprise-wide services in a big
company or the
internet (B2B).
Have fun - Andy
