Chapter 9 Generating Persistent Objects for Java and JSF Pages

Adding JSF support

PowerDesigner uses a JSF profile (Extended Model Definition) to generate JSF pages.

The JSF profile defines:

• Extended attributes
• Check Model
• JSP templates
• Invoker managed bean templates
• Face-configure templates

To add JSF support:

1. Verify that the current model has the target language Java or Java 5.0
2. Select Model(Extended Model Definitions.
3. In the List of Extended Model Definitions, click on the Import tool.
4. Select JavaServer Faces (JSF) in the User Interface tab and click OK.

You can also select JSF Extended Model Definition when creating an OOM.

Note: JSF uses Data Access Objects (DAO) to access data from the database. In order to generate JSF, you need to add a persistence management Extended Model Definition such as Hibernate.
