JBuilder is a Java IDE. In PowerDesigner, you are provided with a JBuilder extended model definition (JBuilder.xem) that allows you to create, deploy and debug EJBs, Servlets, and JSPs. The supported version of JBuilder Enterprise is version 7.
If you want to use JBuilder to finish the Java code, deploy and debug J2EE components, you can generate a JBuilder project including the Web application group, EJB group, EAR group and the configuration descriptor for O/R mapping (for EA Server and WebLogic with EJB CMP). You can open the project, build the entire project and deploy it.
When you import the JBuilder extended model definition into your model, you can generate the following files:
|
File type |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Project file |
JBuilder Project file is an XML format file, with the extension .JPX |
|
EAR group file |
Extension .EARGRPX. It is generated if it contains EJB, Servlets, or JSPs. The EAR group file contains the J2EE application.xml descriptor |
|
EJB group file |
Extension .EJBGRPX. It is generated for each package that will generate an EJB JAR file |
You can preview the generated JBuilder files from the Preview page of the model property sheet.
