Thanks Matt.
I am thinking of following below approach for a project we are going to start. Please let me know if this approach wont make any problems in future or is there any better approach of achieving this. 1. Identify all the entities and their relations(like one-to-many, many-to-one etc.) 2. Create the entity POJO classes 3. Create a Spring MVC modular pattern using appfuse archetype 4. Place the POJO classes in core module and run appfuse:gen on each of the entity POJO 5. Run mvn install 6. Move to web directory and again run appfuse:gen on each of the entity POJO The customizations I need is screen layouts, screen designs and some business processsing.......... So for business processing am thinking of writing a simple POJO class(Advice) with methods for business validations or preprocessing before save method and using this Advice methods using aop:before and aop:after advices in applicationContext.xml of core module so that this wont disturb the application generated by appfuse. Is this a better solution or do u ahve any better suggestion. And for screen layout and screen design changes am thinking of writing our own pages and then using the appfuse tag libs to access the objects. Will this be good approach and will it be that easy? can u suggest a more better approach if there is any? mraible wrote: > > You shouldn't need to generate DAOs, Managers, etc. for the child.
