[Eledge-developers] EJOSA Revolutions Beta check-in in CVS

[Lofi D. <de...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I check-in the first version of ejosa-revo, which supports
AndroMDA (Model Driven Architecture) and EJOSA (Sourcecode
Centric Development). This version supports JOnAS 3.3.5 (the
most up-to-date with Tomcat) and Enhydra 5.1 (also the most
up-to-date).

To build from CVS you need:
- to download the ejosa.revo.beta-ext-libs.zip, which are the
   external libraries needed (no need to download anything
   else, everything included!).
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ejosa/ejosa.revo.beta-ext-libs.zip?download

- if you want to see the UML diagram - I introduced a new
   directory "model" for those diagrams - please download
   the community - free edition of PoseidonUML. The diagram
   is in model/src directory.
http://www.gentleware.com

I also introduced "apply-all-build.xml" to call every single
Ant scripts one by one. This can also be seen as a help to
know the whole build process.

Another new directory is "src-generated". Everything which
are generated (model -> code, code -> Xdoclet) will be saved
in this directory. So, please *never* edit those files by
hand as they will be overwritten on the next generation
cycle.Everything which should not be overwritten, should be written
under standard "src" directory. As you can see with the
"ejosa-revo/dev-piggybank-swing-enhydra-ejb-hibernate"
example, you'll find no specification/src and only specification/
src-generated as all the interfaces can be fully automatically
generated from the model!

Build Process:

0. dev-cartridges (AndroMDA cartridges for EJOSA)
    dev-cartridges/build/apply-all-build.xml

1. dev-framework (internal framework needed):
    dev-framework/business/build/apply-all-build.xml
    dev-framework/presentation/build/apply-all-build.xml
    dev-framework/utility/build/apply-all-build.xml

2. dev-xxx (examples):
    2.1 model/build/build-andromda.xml
    2.2 specification/build/apply-all-build.xml
    2.3 business/build/apply-all-build.xml
    2.4 presentation/build/apply-all-build.xml
    2.5 test/build/apply-all-build.xml

Only dev-converter has no "model", because this is too easy ;-)

- ejosa-revo/dev-jonas-alarm-jsp-ejb: a JOnAS example which
   is added with UML model:
   - model: UML class diagrams.
   - specification: ejosa-specification-ejb cartridge (*Home, *Object,
     EJB oriented).
   - business: no cartridge, EJB 1.1.
   - presentation: no cartridge, JSP, Servlet with Tomcat.
- ejosa-revo/dev-piggybank-swing-enhydra-ejb-hibernate: is
   the old example with SSB and Hibernate.
   - model: UML class diagrams.
   - specification: ejosa-specification-independent
     cartridge.
   - business: ejosa-business-ejb-hibernate, EJB 1.1 with
     Hibernate.
   - presentation: no cartridge, Enhydra, XMLC.
- other examples are following (ejb 1.1 and ejb 2.0).

IDE users:
- For NetBeans users: you need to use the most up-to-date version
   (NetBeans 3.6 Beta) to compile the model into the codes, because
   of classloader problem with the older NetBeans.
- For Eclipse users: everything is included (.cvsignore, .classpath,
   .project), so that all the classpaths will be automatically done
   for you).

To run the example, just as usual use the Ant script on the "bin"
directory -> business/bin and presentation/bin. For
ejosa-revo/dev-jonas-alarm-jsp-ejb example you can also run the
application as a whole under application/bin (don't forget to
run the application/build/apply-all-build.xml before).

I provide many cartridges AndroMDA cartridges for different purposes:

Specification API "specification":
ejosa-specification-remote
ejosa-specification-independent
ejosa-specification-ejb

Business Implementation "business":
ejosa-business-ejb (with Business Delegate, DTO, PK, DTOFactory)
ejosa-business-ejb-hibernate (with Business Delegate)

Presentation Implementation "presentation":
ejosa-presentation-enhydra-xmlc (not yet finished, coming soon).

I'll update the EJOSA documentation a.s.a.p. so that there
will be more stuffs to read for the cartridges.

Have fun!
