Chapter 6 Generating JDO Persistent Objects

PowerAMC

PowerAMC supports UML object modeling and data modeling. It is interesting for customers to use the same tool to define objects, database schema, O/R mapping, and to generate the database schema, Java classes and JDO persistence descriptor with O/R mapping definition.

With PowerAMC, you can:

• Define objects using the UML Class Diagram.
• Generate or reverse engineer database using the Physical Data Model (PDM).
• Generate O/R mapping when generating a PDM from OOM or an OOM from PDM.
• Manually define complex O/R mapping.
• Generate Java source code and compile Java code.
• Generate JDO persistence descriptor with O/R mapping definition.
• Customize the O/R mapping generator.
• Generate Ant build script for compiling and running the JDO enhancer.
• Integrate with JBuilder and Eclipse.

The recommended integration between PowerAMC and a JDO product is:

1. Define Java classes, database schema and O/R mapping in PowerAMC.
2. Generate Java classes, database and JDO persistence descriptor with O/R mapping from PowerAMC.
3. Compile and run the JDO enhancer from PowerAMC, Ant, JBuilder or Eclipse.
