Chapter 6 Creating J2EE Applications for BEA WebLogic

Adding WebLogic Server Support

PowerDesigner can generate standard CMP or BMP EJBs and application server specific descriptors.

PowerDesigner uses extended model definitions to support additional targets like an application server, O/R mapping tool, IDE workspace, etc. An extended model definition (XEM) 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 WebLogic Server Extended Model Definition defines:

• WebLogic Server Extended Attributes
• WebLogic Server generation templates for EJB descriptors
• WebLogic Server deployment commands
• WebLogic Server options

To add WebLogic Server support:

1. Ensure that the current model has the Java target language
2. Choose Model→Extended Model Definitions
3. In the list of Extended Model Definitions, click on the Import button:
   
4. Select BEA WebLogic Server from the list:
