Chapter 14 Working with the PowerDesigner Plugin for Eclipse

Selecting a target application server

PowerDesigner can generate EJBs, Servlets, JSPs and application server specific descriptors. In the Ant build.xml file, PowerDesigner can generate the target server specific deployment commands. If you want to generate EJBs, Servlets or JSPs for a specific application, you need to add an application server profile.

The following application servers are supported:

• BEA WebLogic Application Server 6.0 and 7.0
• IBM WebSphere 5.0
• Sybase EAServer 4 and 5
• Apache Tomcat 4 or higher

If you create CMP EJB components, PowerDesigner can generate an application server specific configuration descriptor including O/R mapping information. In the Ant build.xml file, PowerDesigner generates a server specific deployment command.

To select a target application server:

1. Select Model→Extended Model Definitions.
2. Click the Import an Extended Model Definition tool in the list of extended model definitions.
3. Select an application server in the Application server page.
   
4. Click OK

The application server profile is imported into the current OOM.

For more information on how to generate J2EE applications for a specific application server, see the technical document for that application server in the \Printable Docs folder.
