CodeFutures Press Releases

CodeFutures is pleased to announced the BETA program for FireStorm/DAO 4.0. The BETA version of the product is available for download on the CodeFutures Web site.

The main new feature of this release is support for The Spring Framework. FireStorm/DAO will now provide options for generating DAO classes that use Spring JDBC and will also offer an option to generate a web application that uses Spring MVC.

"Without doubt, support for the Spring Framework is the most requested new feature in FireStorm/DAO ever" says Andy Grove, Chief Architect, CodeFutures.


About FireStorm/DAO
FireStorm/DAO is a database access tool that adopts a pragmatic approach of generating Java source code for data persistence that is a direct mapping of a particular relational database schema. It is also possible to define complex multi-table queries and to leverage existing database logic contained within stored procedures.

FireStorm/DAO is based on the Data Access Object design pattern and is available in Enterprise, Architect, and OEM editions. FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition allows new custom code generation templates to be developed and integrated with the FireStorm/DAO Studio environment. FireStorm/DAO Architect Edition includes the source code for the Java code generation templates. The code generation templates are written in Java, which means that Java developers have a very short learning curve before they can start customizing the code generation.

CodeFutures is pleased to announce the General Availability of FireStorm/DAO 3.2. The new feature of this release is support for EJB 3.0 and the Java Persistence API (JPA).

Additional new features include:

• FireStorm/DAO is now compatible with Windows Vista
• An extra "Navigation" field has been added to the foreign key editor in the user interface to allow users to control the direction of generated relationships when generating EJB 3.0 / JPA source code. Valid values are "Unidirectional, Parent -> Child", "Unidirectional, Child -> Parent", and "Bidirectional".
• The JDBC Driver and Data Source configuration have been re-implemented to improve usability.
  When defining Table Finders or Custom SQL DAOs, it is now possible to escape colon symbols with the backslash '\' character to stop FireStorm/DAO from interpreting them as parameter names.
• Improvements have been made to the way in which FireStorm/DAO loads custom code generation providers that have been developed using the Architect Edition of the product. It is no longer necessary to specify the provider class names in the configuration file as FireStorm/DAO now scans all jar files in the jars directory at startup and automatically attempts to load any classes that implement the Provider interface.

"We are very happy with the new release - it provides a good combination of new features and improvements to existing features. We expect a very positive reaction from FireStorm/DAO users because everything in the new release is based on customer feedback" explains Andy Grove, Chief Architect, CodeFutures.

FireStorm/DAO 3.2 BETA is now available for download from the CodeFutures Web Site. This new release contains many bug fixes as well as adding support for the Java Persistence API (JPA) when generating code for Hibernate. It is still possible to generate native Hibernate DAO as in previous releases.

"We've had a lot of success with our native Hibernate DAO support in previous FireStorm/DAO releases, but since the introduction of JPA, we've had customer demand for enhanced Hibernate support. We're very pleased to provide this." says Andy Grove, Chief Architect, CodeFutures.

The BETA program is expected to last for several weeks, with FireStorm/DAO 3.2 planned for generally availability in April 2008.
