Chad I'd rather they used the single xml file but if each service is to be re-used in separate apps with no coupling to other services then I need generate them independently (each from their own xmi model) Only way I can then see to have the single config file is to either hand-code it or s

I'm wanting to use multiple andromda services (ie. multiple core jars) from a non andromda webapp but am thinking default naming for spring config files like applicationcontext.xml and beanRefFactory etc will cause dramas if I bundle them all within web-inf? Because I want them to be generat

Does anyone know a non-tedious way to specify tagged values for entities. In particular I'm currently using MagicDraw 9.5 trial but annoyed with no. of clicks needed to add (for instance) column length values onto entities. Anyone found it simpler to do on a different uml tool? [Question]

It does show a rectangle on both client and supplier at time dependency is added so I shouldn't have missed that. Once established though, it can be only a very subtle difference - depending on length of the method name etc Probably just means I need do modelling when wide awake as opposed to

Many thanks for that, I'm getting the DAOs correctly now. Not sure I'm a fan of MagicDraw though, could probably improve on the way those dependencies are displayed! Either that or I need start wearing specs! -- Audere est Facere _ Reply

Its making sense except that I'm not getting any getters generated on the DAOs? I'd had that working as expected on the class but no sign of them being generated onto any of the DAOs. Does there need be anything special about the dependencies? I had simple dependencies drawn between my en

Wouter are you saying a dependency drawn from one to another should introduce the getDAO() method onto the first ? Or do you mean it will be included onto the DAO for the first ? I've drawn the dependency as you'd described but it doesn't seem to generate a getter anywhere. Note I know

Yes guys I'm using MagicDraw. I'm using the term 'service' for all that bundled under a <> class which turns out to be a mix of business and persistence logic. For more complex operations I expect I'd need a separate business layer but this fits neatly right now. I'll take a closer look at the

Chad Thanks for the info, I think the problem I have is in understanding how the xmi is shared or related between different projects (services). So far I've been keeping each within their own .xmi file and hence can't draw the dependency. Just now I've gone and created a dummy PictureVO
