Go to http://www.andromda.org/ for more information. The project located in this directory has been generated by Philip Mark Donaghy using the andromdapp:generate Maven plugin. You should at least be running Maven 2.0.1 if you want to build your project without any Maven-related problems, below is a summary of what has been generated and a list of example goals to call from the command line. The generated project structure is well-tailored for use in the development of J2EE projects. The build process itself makes use of Maven, dependencies and often-used goals have been added for your convenience. Custom configuration can be done by updating the root pom.xml file. /network-monitor J2EE project | | The root of the project contains a few files that control the overall | build process and common properties (in the pom.xml). | |-- pom.xml | contains information about this project, you may add more information | as long as you do not violate the Maven POM schema, see | http://maven.apache.org/reference/project-descriptor.htmlt | +-- /mda | | | | The MDA module is the heart of this project, this is where | | AndroMDA is configured to generate the files needed to | | assemble the application | | | +-- pom.xml | | contains the AndroMDA dependencies and configuration (cartridges, translation-libraries, etc) | +-- /src | | additional sources such as merge-mappings can be | | placed here, check out the /main/uml directory, it contains | | the UML model from which AndroMDA will generate code | +-- /src/main/config/andromda.xml | configures AndroMDA and its components, most | importantly the cartridges which are listed in | their own namespace; global settings are done in the | 'default' namespace | +-- /common | | | | The COMMON module collects those resources and classes | | that are shared between the other modules. | | | +-- pom.xml | | lists common dependencies | +-- /target | shared resources and java classes are generated here, | such as value objects and exceptions | +-- /core | | | | The CORE module collects those resources and classes | | that use the Spring framework, optionally making | | use of Hibernate and/or EJB under the hood. | | | +-- pom.xml | | lists Spring dependencies | +-- /src/main/java | | Spring classes that need manual implementation are | | generated here, they will not be overwritten upon | | regeneration; this includes the service, DAO and | | entity implementations | +-- /target | the Spring resources and classes here will be | overwriten each time AndroMDA generates new code | using the Spring cartridge; this includes both | the Hibernate entities and the correponding | *.hbm.xml mapping files as well as the service | and DAO base classes. You'll also find the DDL | for creating and dropping your schema within this | directory. | +-- /web | | | | The WEB module collects all resources and classes | | that make up the presentation layer, as well as | | bundling all other modules to create a deployable war. | | | +-- pom.xml | | lists WebApp dependencies | +-- /src/main/java | | controller implementations and editable resource bundles | | will be generated here, | | you might consider putting your own JSPs here to | | be copied over the generated ones when bundling the | | .war file | +-- /target | a deployable war is bundled here | In order to succesfully build your project you will need to know how to invoke the build process for the existing modules, here's a list of examples: %> mvn install simply builds all modules %> mvn -f web/pom.xml -Ddeploy collects all artifacts and builds a deployable .war which is then deployed %> mvn clean cleans all generated files from each target directory %> mvn install -Ddeploy rebuilds the entire application and deploys %> mvn install -Denv=prod builds the entire application for the production environment, possible 'env' property values are 'prod' for production, 'val' for validation and 'dev' for development; not specifying any value for this property will build the application for the local configuration (more info at http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html) %> mvn -f web/pom.xml andromdapp:undeploy -o undeploys the war from your app server %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=core (or mvn -f core/pom.xml) only build the core module %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=web (or mvn -f web/pom.xml) only build the web module %> mvn nuke cleans out all /target directories and removes all Java classes with names ending with 'Impl' from the source directories (from the common, core and web modules); this goal asks for confirmation, but be careful calling it anyway as you will lose your manually edited files %> mvn -f core/pom.xml andromdapp:schema -Dtasks=create generates the DDL create code and subsequently tells the database to create the schema for the entities %> mvn -f core/pom.xml andromdapp:schema -Dtasks=drop generates the DDL drop code and subsequently tells the database to drop the schema for the entities %> mvn -f core/pom.xml andromdapp:schema -Dtasks=drop,create generates the drop and create DDL code and subsequently tells the database to drop and then create the schema for the entities %> mvn -f core/pom.xml andromdapp:schema -Dtasks=update attempts to update the database schema with incremental changes, might not work with all JDBC drivers see http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html_single/#toolsetguide-s1-6 %> mvn -f core/pom.xml andromdapp:schema -Dtasks=validate validates the current Hibernate mappings against the database, you can also use this to simply check whether or not the mappings have been properly generated (in case of customizations) %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=mda:[andromda:start-server] (or mvn -f mda/pom.xml andromda:start-server) starts the AndroMDA server, with this server running you will be able to significantly speedup the generation process although it will require you to use another console while it is running %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=mda:[andromda:stop-server] (or mvn -f mda/pom.xml andromda:stop-server) stops the AndroMDA server %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=mda (or mvn -f mda/pom.xml) runs AndroMDA on your model and thereby generating files in the subdirectories of the existing modules %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=mda -Dfilter=java,hibernate (or mvn -f mda/pom.xml -Dfilter=java,hibernate) runs AndroMDA, but this time only using the Java and Hibernate cartridges (in that order) %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=mda -Dfilter=~java,hibernate (or mvn -f mda/pom.xml -Dfilter=~java,hibernate) runs AndroMDA, but this time using all cartridges *except* the Java and Hibernate cartridges %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dmodules=mda,core,web -Dfilter=java -Ddeploy runs AndroMDA using only the Java cartridge, rebuilds the core module and web module and deploys afterwards %> mvn -N andromdapp:build -Dconsole runs the AndroMDApp build goal in 'console' mode, once running, this allows you to execute any goal or subproject goal in the manner described above without having to specify the andromdapp:build goal or restarting maven (i.e. you can run the mda goal by typing 'mda', build the core module by type 'core', etc). Please note that you may use the '-o' flag at any time to avoid having Maven downloading any SNAPSHOT dependencies. Each module will install its artifact into the local Maven repository, this might be a directory looking like this: (Windows) C:\Documents and Settings\Philip Mark Donaghy\.m2\repository\network-monitor\ (*nix) /home/Philip Mark Donaghy/.maven/repository/network-monitor/ For questions or feature requests please use our forum: http://forum.andromda.org/ Good luck! -- The AndroMDA Team
