xuml-compiler
So you are a java programmer, you have a data model (a Class Diagram) and you want to implement your system?
Get your State Machines sorted, then you can specify a system to xuml-compiler, and validate, test and execute it.
The result is an executable system so that we satisfy to a fair degree that "the model is the code".
Dependency updates are still being made to this project as it is still in use in production. Note that a completely reworked model compiler is at http://github.com/davidmoten/xuml-tools. The primary difference is a reworked metamodel in accordance with Leon Starr's work and more support for concurrency (actor library used for signals).
For background
- Executable UML at Wikipedia.
- Executable UML (Mellor & Balcer, 2002) at Google Books
In detail, a system specified in java code using helper methods provided by xuml-compiler is used to generate java persistence annotated (JPA) classes. Guice is used to inject action language (java) for methods and events. xuml-compiler offers a swing viewer for the system and generates persistence.xml resources for quick testing turnaround.
Features
- uses hibernate 5.x, guice 5.x
- requires Java 8+
- compatible with Java 11, 17
- slf4j logging
For each entity xuml-compiler creates
- Interface class
- Ejb annotated Implementation class
- Actions interface class (to be implemented by the injected actions class written externally)
- Event classes as static nested classes of the interface class
- Search class as a static nested class of the interface class
