Chapter 7 Creating J2EE Applications for IBM WebSphere 5.0

Adding WebSphere 5.0 Profile

PowerDesigner uses an Extended Model Definition file (.xem) to support additional targets, such as an application server, O/R mapping tool, IDE, etc. An Extended Model Definition defines stereotypes, extended attributes, code generation templates, commands and options. It 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 PowerDesigner.

To add WebSphere 5.0 support:

1. Verify that the current model is targeted for Java.
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.
