Chapter 2 Working with Apache Ant

Introduction

PowerDesigner supports many features for J2EE applications like Object/Relational mapping (O/R mapping), generation of Web Service artifacts, Enterprise JavaBeanTM (EJBTM), Servlets and JSPs, and can compile and deploy them directly for you.

However, developers may need to write code in their favorite Java IDE or text editor, then compile, deploy and test using a build utility like Apache Ant.

PowerDesigner can generate an Ant build script file in addition to the Java code, thus allowing you to edit the code using any editor, and to compile, package and deploy it using the Ant command line.

This chapter explains how to use PowerDesigner to generate an Ant build script.
