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

First of all to make things most attractive... that's the final result

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.
