About MDA and Java frameworks.

[Ricardo1980]

Hi mates!

At the moment I'm reading docs about EA but still not used it.
I've been working with Java SE some years, but never with J2EE.
So, maybe my question has no sense. Let's do it...

After reading this website, I'm a bit confused:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/software_development/debugging_java_web_servers.html
That website talks about two application servers; JBOSS and Tomcat (well this one is an almost application server).


If I use a model driven approach to create a system, and then generate its source code in java, have I to know something about j2ee frameworks as struts or spring, or just about application servers?

Thanks  a lot.

That page is referring to debugging of Java code running in those environments.  Neither is necessary for general EA use.

Do you mean that I have to move/copy what EA generates  inside  an application server as Tomcat or JBoss without knowing anything about Struts/Spring?

Thanks for reply.

Not even close.

You can safely ignore any references to Tomcat or JBoss unless they are what you want to work with.

EA can generate, reverse engineer and debug Java code without any of those frameworks.

Of course, if you want to use them, EA will not save you from needing to learn about them.

Thanks for repley!

If I ignore all references to application servers, how can I deploy apps using Java and EA? Thanks.

Generate code, then deploy as you normally would.  If you want you can use the deploy script to do that.  But it happens externally to EA.
