Safaa, whilst I can see your point there is a more fundamental underlying issue regarding scalability that has nothing to do with AndroMDA.
Yes, there could be a problem with how AndroMDA "glues" together the underlying frameworks - but it is a fact of life that there are limits to all systems. You have a very large model. Now I don't understand your application or underlying technology, but there are some basic principles of architecture - loose coupling / high cohesion that must be considered. It is these principles that drive scalability - not the passing xx things in a buffer. Therefore the challenge for any MDA initiative (not just AndroMDA) is how do we structure our models - no matter how large they are - into a set of well designed packages/components that can be reused in a modular fashion. Not an easy challenge, but one that must be considered - especially in your case. Now with your model, I am sure there has to be some structure that can be decomposed into a set of independent units that can be consumed by AndroMDA without the issues you are currently facing. If not, then I think you have a major problem from a longer term perspective - that is if your model is so tightly coupled with 13000 relationships that it cannot be decomposed into clean modules - you are going to have major maintenance problems - change one thing - domino effect ... I would be very interested in hearing a little more about your domain, the 1300 classes, package structure, layering and technology. I am sure that there are many lessons we can all learn from your experience. _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3826#3826 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Andromda-user mailing list Andromda-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/andromda-user
