Automatic code generation for database-oriented web applications

Abstract

The paper presents an architecture for database-oriented web applications. Then it introduces concepts which form a foundation for a code generation tool that supports the software construction process in the web application domain. The tool follows simple rules about mapping JavaBean components to the database schema and generates components, as well as a set of standardized JSP pages. The mapping is specified as an instance of an XML Schema document presented here. Efficiency of this tool is analyzed in several projects.
