Thanks for the reply;


The model I am currently trying to process in AndroMDA is one of the many 
models (5-6) that form the basis for my application. This particular model is 
the domain model related to a financial industry sector I am working in and at 
this time I am interested in keeping the model as single layer since it will be 
the basis for the data store (for which the schema I am trying to generate). So 
as you can see this model is the basis for the persistance database. In essense 
I am modeling the domain database and using an AndromDA model. The other models 
in my application that consititue either other databases or application domain 
model complements this model but are not as large By the way as far as I know, 
any serious industry standards compliant data (object) model will be a sizable 
one specially in financial and insurance industry.



As for the scalability issue you addressed, I am talking about the scalability 
of the AndroMDA tool and not the scalability of the architectures that androMDA 
help generate. Tool scalaibility is related to how large a model one can use 
and process in a tool IF it is determined that you absolutley can't decompose 
the architecture in several modeules whose size are easily processed in 
AndromDA. At this time one of my six components happens to be that large and so 
far I didn't try to decompose it further since it is supposed to form the basis 
for a single database schema.

Also, scalibility from my perspective is when the tool can't scale up to match 
the kind of work you need to do, regardless what caused the problem whether is 
a major architectural defect in the design of the tool (AndromDA has no such 
architectural issue and in fact one of the reason of its success in my mind is 
its cood losely coupled architecture) or a minor bug somewhere, which is the 
case I think in my situation.



At any case, at this time, I am using androMDA to get all teh necessary code 
and mapping files and then I use Hibernate directly to complete the process to 
generate teh schema outside AndroMDA. I will try at one time to see if I can 
figure out teh problem and if I find it I will report it back to teh forum.



Thanks again.
