Seems like a reasonable approach to me. I think it depends on how
complex the Domain Model is. I have not used the class generator from
database you mentioned, but I wonder how well it does at modeling
relationships. You probably have to go in after the fact and code in
all your parent-child, etc relationships, but you would have to do
that for the Appfuse generation as well. So for your basic CRUD
operations for your Domain it sounds like it will work.
For me, unless there are a LOT of domain objects, I would likely just
hand create the models to ensure I got what I wanted. That part of a
project is never really the difference between being on time or not,
but definitely can mess you up if you get it wrong.

Hi every1, (Experts, or not so)
I'm newbie in AppFuse and It would be so king of u and apreciated
if u plz give me a few hot tips and advices. Thus, (how knows?) we'd
maybe leverage the well knowing of AppFuse and show up (all around
the world) its real importance?!!
I'd like to know your opnion about this situation: I have a legacy
System (PC plattiform) that I have to convert to Java. Of course I
already have the DataBase (in case: in Oracle). As u know, I'm
newbie in AppFuse. (Since AppFuse Tutorials predict the developer
already get the (Domain Model) Business Entity (POJOs), at least in
mind) So, I'd like your advice so that confirm procedure that should
be the more productive and get the final result as fastest as
possible:
1. Generate my App from AppFuse (basic or modular (hope I get
mature soon to adote it)).
2. Make Reverse Engineering from Oracle DataBase. -> I guess I
otta use a JPA plugIn of Eclipse (for instance), since I get my
Entity Class(es) already with hashcode(), equals() and toSting()
methods. (that serialId is a JPA drawback in my opnion).
3. Now get back to combo maven/AppFuse to generate the CRUD/
entities Web FrontEnd.
4. This time get back to Eclipse (default IDE where I work) to
implement the not so simple Use Cases (more complex than a CRUD) and
customise others1s to achieve a final software product.
Any comments are very, very, very welcome!!! ;-))
In advance, thnk u SO MUCH! ]o['s,
