FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition
FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition is powerful and flexible Java persistence tool that allows new custom code generation templates to be developed and integrated with the FireStorm/DAO Studio environment. CodeFutures includes the source code of all the Enterprise Edition DAO options (JDBC, EJB CMP, Hibernate, JDO) as part of the Architect Edition. The code generation templates are written in standard Java so there is no need to learn a proprietary code generation template language as with other solutions. There is no limit on the number of custom DAO design templates can be developed – possibly using different DAO templates for different parts of the same application. Additional non-DAO custom code generation templates can also be developed and used with FireStorm/DAO. The custom code generation templates can be used with the Enterprise Edition. FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition includes the source code for the each of the DAOs (JDBC, EJB CMP, Hibernate, and JDO). This allows FireStorm/DAO to be customized:
FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition - Demonstration VideoA short demonstration video introducing FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition is available in Windows Media format to view here. Team Development using the Architect EditionThe maximum benefits of FireStorm/DAO are usually derived by a software development group using the Architect Edition to customize the DAO design template for its environment. An experienced software developer within a software development team customizes the DAO template. Then any other programmers who want to develop a data persistence tier use the Enterprise Edition and the custom DAO template provided by the DAO architect. The DAO templates in FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition can be customized to a project’s exact requirements: optimize performance, integrate more closely with existing build environments, and add environment-specific extra custom features such as caching, security, auditing, and clustering. The benefits of using FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition with development teams includes:
Custom Code GenerationFireStorm/DAO™ Architect Edition allows custom code generation modules to be developed and integrated into the FireStorm/DAO™ product. The FireStorm/DAO™ SDK provides two interfaces that must be implemented by user-defined code generation providers. These are the Provider and ProviderOptions interfaces. Once the user-defined provider class has been developed it can be integrated with FireStorm/DAO™ by simply adding the class name to the firestorm-conf.xml file as in the following example:
<codegen-providers> This code generation provider will now be available within the "Generate" menu in the FireStorm/DAO™ user interface and will also be available to the Ant code generation task. The following syntax can be used to invoke a user-defined code generation provider using Ant:

/* Customer Testimonials”FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition gives us full control and ownership over the code that is much preferred over other proprietary products. In our experience, most other DB mapping tools and products provide great productivity over the short term, but over the long term, the inability to control the generated JDBC introduces bugs that are very difficult to fix and maintain. Unnecessary workarounds are then used which contaminate our system's architecture. FireStorm/DAO will definitely stay part of our tool set within the foreseeable future!"
“FireStorm/DAO is a great tool not only for rapidly prototyping, but also for doing production quality code. During code reviews and load testing, we have found that the code generated by FireStorm/DAO performs exceptionally well.
“FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition allows us complete control over the generated code mitigating any risks of changes in our application or the product. We were able to build upon the generated persistence layer and generate much of our client and business layer code. In some cases, we were able to generate up to 75% of the code leaving only business logic to program. |
