I've hacked together a prototype version of JAWSPersistenceManager that
allows a user to interact directly with the database back end, and see
what's in various tables and how jBoss is interacting with it. It also
allows the user to drop tables and delete individual rows (non-compound PKs
only right now). I find this useful during entity bean development because
I'm stuck on an NT development environment and it has problems getting the
correct date on files, causing difficulties for redeployment. This visual
JAWS class allows me to get the database into a sensible state for testing
my clients and seeing what they make JAWS do.
The prototype is extremely crude and wildly inefficient, I've absolutely no
doubt that there are all sorts of of entity beans that will simply make it
crash and burn.
However, there may be the core of a useful plugin here although it needs
considerable refactoring, it should probably be a separate component from
JAWS or a subclass or something.
I'd be happy to send out the code to anyone who's interested although I've
badly mangled the original which was authored by Rickard �berg.
Mail me for screenshots or the source.
