Chapter 6 Generating Persistent Objects for Java and JSF Pages

Generating JSF pages

Before generation, make sure that you have attached the Hibernate Extended Model Definition to the model, and checked the model for errors.

To generate JSF files:

1. Select Language→Generate Java Code.
2. Specify a target directory.
3. Define generation options.
4. Click OK.
   
   The generation produces the following files:
   
   
   • Persistent files (persistent classes, DAO, ...)
   • Eclipse and Eclipse WTP project artifacts
   • A home page
   • JSF pages for persistent classes
   • Managed beans
   • Page flows (face configuration files)
   
   
   For each persistent class, PowerDesigner generates:
   
   
   • A find page for searching objects
   • A list page for displaying find results
   • A create page for creating new objects
   • An edit page for updating objects
