Is there an abstract meta-model of Struts ?
Hi All,
Quesiton: I understand that there exists a programmatic API, documentation
and source-code of Struts, but is there a formal meta-model of Struts ( from
an application development point of view ) ?
Purpose: I am a practioner of MDA ( Model Driven Architecture ) and use
AndroMDA to create meta-models of popular technologies like DAO, EJB, etc
and then auto-generate User applications like HR ( by modeling Employee,
Department etc) etc.
I am interested in the meta-model of Struts so that I can feed / create such
a Model into AndroMDA and use the tool to help me auto-generate Presentation
Tier code components based on Struts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
Praveen

So you're looking for something like an XMI description of the Struts
APIs? I'm not aware of anything like that within the Struts project
itself, though maybe it's available from a third-party source -- one of
the tool vendors with Struts integration support or something.

We rely on the AndroMDA EJB and Struts cartridges to a large extent. I
found the standard templates cater for basic applications extremely well.
We have had to modify the AndroMDA code and templates to delivery a fully
diverse MDA application, but anyone can modify it to suit their
requirements. This took quite some time during the first project.
Like most tools, once you understand how to do the job manually, the tools
become aids. As an example, have a look at www.smsticketing.com.au. We
have used AndroMDA extensively to generate ActionForms, Actions, resource
property and JSP files for this site and several sub domains. Deployment
descriptors are generated using XDoclet.
Have a great weekend

Hi,
I only have limited experience with MDA, and we don't use AndroMDA
at work. But as I understand from their site, there's an existing
cartridge for Struts already available:
http://www.andromda.org/andromda-bpm4struts-cartridge/index.html
I know that in Germany there are projects where the entire web
layer was generated by this one. Isn't that what you're probably
looking for?
