Chapter 9 Creating J2EE Applications for IBM WebSphere 5.0

Adding WebSphere 5.0 Profile

PowerAMC uses the concept of Extended Model Definition (profile or XEM) to support additional targets like application server, O/R mapping tool, IDE, etc. An Extended Model Definition defines stereotypes, extended attributes, code generation templates, commands and options. A profile can add new code templates or override the templates of an object language (Java, XML, and so on); it can also be independent from the object language. The code generation templates use code templates and macros.

The WebSphere 5.0 profile defines:

• Templates for WebSphere Application Server specific descriptors.
• Templates for WebSphere Application Developer project files.
• Extended attributes for customizing the generation.
• Generation options.
• Command tasks for deployment from PowerAMC.

To add WebSphere 5.0 support:

1. Verify that the current model is targeted for Java the object language.
2. Select Model→Extended Model Definitions.
3. In the List of Extended Model Definitions, click on the Import tool
   
4. Select IBM WebSphere 5.0 from the list:
   
5. Click OK. The profile is imported into the current model.
