FireStorm/DAO™ Architect Edition Technical Specifications

FireStorm/DAO™ Architect Edition builds on the power of the Enterprise Edition by allowing custom code generation modules to be built to meet any bespoke requirements. The Architect Edition also ships with full source code for the code generators from the Enterprise Edition. FireStorm/DAO™ Architect Edition is priced at $3,495 per developer and can be purchased from the online store.

A more general product description of FireStorm/DAO™ Architect Edition is available here.

Architect Edition Features

• Contains all functionality from Enterprise Edition
• Provides API allowing custom code generation modules to be developed
• FireStorm API provides access to FireStorm project file meta-data
• Contains full source code for code generation modules

Custom Code Generation

FireStorm/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>
  <provider>com.mycompany.codegen.MyProvider</provider>
</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:

<codegen
  home="${firestorm.home}"
  src="${firestorm.home}/projects/myproject.xml"
  provider="myprovider"
  output="generated-code"
/>

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."
