
Introduced new technologies including EJB, JSP, and metadata-driven code
generation to novice Java team.
Wrote code generation tools used by team to produce all tiers of multi-tier
application: Database Schema (Oracle), Business Logic (BEA WebLogic EJB),
Web Presentation (JSP).
Embedded best practice EJB design patterns (Stateless Session Bean Facade,
Value Objects, JDBC fast path queries) and corporate coding standards (datatype
mappings, naming conventions, Unicode localization support for multiple
languages, CSS style sheets) in generator so they were automatically utilized in
all code produced by team members.
Extended code generation technology to new level beyond database access tier.
Simple declarative XML grammar was used to describe entire application
including web pages, page flow, menus and activity-based workflow, role model
security, and business logic exit points. Team only hand-wrote Java code for
custom business logic and simple JSP widgets.
Using these tools team produced 200+ Entity Beans and 100+ complex dynamic
web pages in less than 9 months. 12 KLOC (thousand lines of code) Ruby
program generated over 60 KLOC of EJB and 100 KLOC of JSP.
