FireStorm/DAO 4.0 GA Released
CodeFutures is pleased to announced general availability for FireStorm/DAO 4.0. The GA 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. Specifically, FireStorm/DAO now provides an option to generate DAO classes that use Spring JDBC.
There are some significant changes to product packaging with the GA release:
- The Enterprise Edition is now available completely free of charge and no longer requires a license key. This edition is restricted to generating a maximum of 20 DAO classes per project.
- The Architect Edition now contains full source code (rather than just the source code for the code generators as in previous releases).
- The Architect Edition is now sold as a subscription license of $995 per year, which entitles users to technical support and free upgrades (major and minor releases) within the subscription period
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.
