Have you looked into Percolator? Percolator is an open source EJB
development tool. Its basic capabillity today is that you define your
beans in an XML-file (wich may be generated from an existing data base
if you have one). From that file you generate your bean. All beans are
generated from templates, so it's farly easy to ad your own suff for the
generated beans. Percolator is currently generating a specific pattern,
consisting of an entity bean in the bottom, a manager for that bean, a
value holder for on the wire data, a proxy and a proxy manager for the
client side.
Since the generated classes are based on a Super/Impl pattern its easy
to add your own stuff in the imp classes and even then its possible to
generated new things into the super classes. On top of that, the needed
deployment descriptors are generated, the generic one and currently the
specific ones for weblogic, jonas and jboss. For people on Linux/Unix a
make file system is also provided, and the nedded stuff tp build, pack
and deploy are generated.
Ok, and lot of new things are in the pipe: automatic OID, finder
generation, DAO object, generated BMP, configuration, configurated
logging, EJB Query Service, Ant support...
Percolator have now been used in three real production projects, of wich
two are already deployed (on banking system, one user system). Its realy
fast to use, its great for itarative development and you get a lot of
built in features that are already deployed (my current project contains
60 000 lines of java code in the data layer, not one bug has hierto
emerged from the Percolator generated stuff).
Could be worth a look perhaps?
