Skyway Builder offers a variety of features for Java/Spring developers and architects who are looking for ways to accelerate their development.
Development Accelerators: These features within Skyway Builder allow developers and architects to accelerate their Java/Spring development but stay in the code. The generated code looks like you have written it yourself and can co-exist with your own hand-coded elements. Most importantly, because the generated code is pure Java and Spring, there’s no lock-in – generate what you need, when you need it, and then use your own code-based tools and techniques to complete the remainder of the development.
- Spring MVC – Generate the web layer of a Spring application, including Spring Controllers
- Spring Web Flow – Visually create web application page flow using a Web Flow Editor
- Service – Produce the service layer of a Spring application, including Spring Services and Web Services
- Domain Model – Create the object/relational mapping layer of a Spring application, including Domain Classes and reverse engineering of existing database schemas into Domain Objects
- Data Access Object – Generate the data persistence layer of a Spring application, including DAOs and Named Queries, plus reverse engineering of existing database schemas into DAOs
Java, Groovy and Spring Support: Skyway Builder allows developers and architects to add their own existing custom artifacts and frameworks, whether created with Java, Groovy or Spring Beans, into the generated code. The custom code co-exists with the generated code and is retained when re-generation occurs.
Application Scaffolding: Accelerate the development of Java/Spring applications by generating a working CRUD application on which more robust functionality can be developed. Use your existing code-based tools and techniques to hand-code functionality on top of the scaffolding.
Extendible and Customizable Code Generation: The generation framework within Skyway Builder is open, extendible and customizable in a variety of ways, allowing developers and architects to leverage code generation technology but be in control of it. For example, configure the generation templates to adhere to your own coding standards and naming conventions.
