Chapter 5 Creating Borland JBuilder Project Files

JBuilder Project File Generation

The JBuilder project file is an XML file with the .jpx extension.

A JBuilder project has the following structure:

<Project Source> node that shows the Java packages and files in hierarchy format
Packages that show the Java files
Additional Settings that show the Servlet Java classes
EAR file group node that defines the EAR file to generate
Web application group that defines the WAR file to generate, the deployment descriptors and the JSP files
EJB group that defines the JAR file to generate, the EJBs and the data sources
The Data Sources that defines the data sources used by the Borland application server

PowerDesigner generates a JBuilder project file containing the following structure:

<Project Source> node that shows the Java packages and files in hierarchy format
Packages that show the Java files
EAR file group if the model contains EJBs, Servlets or JSPs
Web application groups if the model or packages correspond to an archive file that contains Servlets or JSPs
EJB groups if the model or packages correspond to an archive file that contains EJBs
Target application server type
Application server specific deployment descriptors

The JBuilder project file name will be <ModelCode>.jpx.

The supported application servers are:
