1. Re: MDA generators with Seam?
vincent.latombe Aug 24, 2007 4:28 AM (in response to asookazian)The last time I checked it, an AndroMDA cartridge for Seam was under development, but I have no clue about the level of progress. You should go to your discussion board there must be some topics about this development.
Actually I've been developping myself an MDA generator for Seam using Acceleo, for my company, but unfortunately they don't plan to put it on opensource. -
2. Re: MDA generators with Seam?
asookazian Aug 24, 2007 11:41 AM (in response to asookazian)I didn't see any code and/or UML examples on their website. what exactly does their or your product do? Generate skeleton code (method signatures, etc.) or more?

3. Re: MDA generators with Seam?
vincent.latombe Aug 24, 2007 11:56 AM (in response to asookazian)About AndroMDA, I never really investigated their seam generator since i've been developping mine.
Currently, my generator features pretty much like seam-gen generate-entities, but from a class diagram containing entities and relations : I generate entities + home + queries + facelets. Database gets generated by hibernate-tools from entities. You get an entities-oriented CRUD application and not a Table-oriented like Seam-gen do. And you can specify a lot more on an UML model than on a database schema.
I also generate skeleton classes for services, with implementation for queries if needed (extending EntityQuery). -

asookazian Aug 24, 2007 11:59 AM (in response to asookazian)do these products have any relation to executable UML? How much actual code is generated?

atao Aug 24, 2007 12:21 PM (in response to asookazian)There is no official release of the seam cartridge and so no doc.
You have to check by yourself. The snapshot is at

maxandersen Aug 25, 2007 5:01 AM (in response to asookazian)I have not tried it recently but Taylor seem to be the generator that utilizes seam and annotations the best.....

p.s. if someone wrote a uml to annotations/hbm.xml transformer seam generate entities would be able to generate seamlessly from that... -

We're using AndroMDA in my team, and the code generated from the EJB3+seam cartridge is really good. There is a really good documentation at http://web.aanet.com.au/persabi/andromda/howto.html which
gives a nice overview, complete with generated code examples. -

Any chance your company rethinks about this?
