Chapter 7 Generating JDO Persistent Objects

Adding JDO Support

PowerDesigner uses a JDO profile (Extended Model Definition) to generate JDO files.

A profile uses the extension mechanism to add additional features in PowerDesigner such as extended attributes, custom symbols, and code generation templates.

The JDO profile defines:

• Extended attributes
• Standard JDO persistence descriptor templates
• JDO products extensions
• Ant tasks

To add JDO support:

1. Verify that the current model has the target language Java.
2. Select Model→Extended Model Definitions.
3. In the List of Extended Model Definitions, click on the Import tool
   
4. Select Java Data Objects (JDO) from the list and click OK.
