JSF generator
This post aims to offer to j2ee developers easy way to develop jsf/spring/primfaces applications by making downloadable:
1- An skelton of a basic securized application
2- A generator for CRUD web pages and java classes in different layers from view to model.
1- Used architecture is a typical MVC implementation usually used in j2ee web applications:
View <-----> Backing beans (bean package)
| |
| Service or business layer
| (service package) <---Implementation
| |
| Dao layer <---Implementation
| |
| Model <----> DB
|

Generic Dao class was developeled to make easier complex queries manipulation
Hibernate is used as JPA implementation
Project workspace on sourceforge is
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsf-project-generator/
First of all to make things most attractive... that's the final result
(User test / test123)
Skelton is downloadable here (Maven project)
2- Generator
generator is a simple tool to generate the above layers for CRUD operation on a specific data entity
Steps to generate files for an entity
1- We need to compile the entity !!!
Copy the entity into folder group-id/artifact-id/model
Example Product.java class for com.thinkopen group-id
skelton artifact-id
will be copied to JSF-GENERATOR-FOLDER/com/thinopen/skelton/model
2-turn operationCode parameter in config.properties file to "script"
groupId=com.thinkopen
artifactId=skelton
classes=Product:
in case of many classes put them all on the same line ":" separated
3- run
java -jar generator.jar
output will be
4- Compilation:
run command script ./script.sh.bat
If all right we will have a successful compilation message.
5- Generate all files:
Turn operationCode to all
6-run java -jar generator.jar as last step
---> All generated will be in output folder, copy and put then in your project tree.
