It is very satisfying to develop Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow applications using Skyway Builder.  Using the Spring abstractions provided by Skyway Builder, large portions of your Spring application are generated.  Some of the available abstractions include controllers, models, services, operations, data types, and data stores.  When defining applications using these abstractions, it’s often desirable to switch to the generated code.  This is particularly true when you are starting to use Skyway Builder, and you aren’t really sure what Skyway Builder is generating for you automatically.  A great way to discover what’s generated is to examine the generated code.

While the generated code and configuration files reside exactly where you told Skyway Builder to generate them to, it can become a bit of a challenge to identify the source files in a folder that were generated by a particular abstraction.  Since an individual source file may have been derived from multiple abstractions, it can become even more difficult to identify the portions of source file that are related to a particular abstraction.

That’s where the new and improved Generated View comes in to play.  As you highlight an application element in the Skyway Navigator, the Generated View will show you all the code and configurations artifacts that were partially or fully generated by the definition of the highlighted element.
