Pragmatic model driven development in Java with smart use cases and domain driven design

In our Accelerated Delivery Platform we generate code from our standardized smart use cases and the domain model, using our Tobago MDA tooling. See www.accelerateddeliveryplatform.com for more details.

In our daily practice we generate for a variety of architectures in the .Net space. For instance, we apply our own frameworks, or combine these with open source frameworks such as nHibernate, and blocks from Microsoft.

Until recently, we did not have templates to generate Java. However, Rody Middelkoop from Avisi in Arnhem. He created a set of templates to also facilitate that, resulting in the generation of large parts of Java applications. Rody and I decided to send in a proposal for the upcoming J-Spring Conference. Here it is:

Model driven development has a promise of high productivity. However, many approaches fail to deliver. Sander Hoogendoorn (Capgemini) and Rody Middelkoop (Avisi) will present a very pragmatic approach to model driven development, based on modeling smart use cases and domain models in UML. The speakers elaborate enthusiastically on this approach and the techniques used, and they will model and generate a fully deployable Java applications live on stage!

In this unstable economy, organizations target software development at shorter time-to-market and high productivity. Model driven development has a promise of raising productivity in projects. However, many approach fail to deliver this promise. During this high-paced, interactive talk speakers Sander Hoogendoorn (Principal Technology Officer and agile thought leader at Capgemini) and Rody Middelkoop (Technical evangelist at Avisi, and lecturer at the Hogeschool Arnhem Nijmegen) share their very pragmatic approach to delivering software using model driven development. First, Sander will elaborate on the modeling and code generation approach, that relies on smart use cases and smart use case stereotype, a solid software architecture and domain driven design. Next, Rody will take the stage and demonstrate how this approach effects building Java web applications, generating a fully deployable Java EAR live on stage! Although other architectures and frameworks can be applied, Rody will use open source Java frameworks such as Ant, FreeMarker, Struts2, Spring and JPA/Hibernate3.
