Java Source Code

Generate Java source code for accessing relational databases

FireStorm/DAO makes Java software developers more productive by automatically generating Java source code for accessing relational databases.

Reduced Java Source Code Complexity

FireStorm/DAO's generated Java source code provides a one-to-one mapping between Java source code objects and database tables, which is simpler than using a complex mapping tier.

Portable Java Source Code

The FireStorm/DAO generated Java source code is fully portable between stand-alone Java and Enterprise Java. The Java source code is also portable between Application Servers (ensuring no lock-in). The generated Java source code conforms to the widely accepted Data Access Object design pattern. FireStorm/DAO does not require proprietary runtime libraries.

Service-Oriented

The Java generated by FireStorm/DAO is designed for use in service-oriented architectures. The Data Access Object (DAO) classes are stateless services that can easily be exposed as transactional Session Beans and are also suitable for use as part of a Web Services architecture.

Performance

FireStorm/DAO Java source code generator is not limited to simple single-table operations but can also leverage the power of the relational database by generating Custom DAO classes that make use of complex SQL statements including table joins. FireStorm/DAO also provides support for exposing stored procedures as Data Access Objects.

Java Source Code Production Productivity Gains

Generating Java source code by definition is always going to be much faster than hand coding. For reference purposes, when using FireStorm/DAO with a reasonable large (over 20 tables) database, there is approximately a twenty-fold productivity increase in producing Java source code.

Higher Quality Java Source Code

Generated Java source code will always have fewer errors than hand written Java source code, due to the elimination of typos, human error, and so on. FireStorm/DAO provides a consistent approach across multiple projects, multiple development teams, and against multiple types of database product. Generating Java source code ensures that software developers are more likely to be focussed on the business requirements than the more mundane task of coding.

Customer Testimonial

"Before we discovered FireStorm/DAO, we were reluctant to write DAO code ourselves as it required a lot of time and effort. Now we can concentrate on the real business logic and application requirements."
Kobus Steenekamp, Senior Java Developer, Discovery Health
