Users Guide

In this early form of JAppGen, we assume that J2EE applications fall into three basic parts:

• a front end, the presentation layer;
• a middle tier, which constitutes an object model for the application proper; and
• a persistence layer, the bridge to the underlying database.

In the software, these will be represented by the front/, biz/, and back/ directories respectively. We assume that application software is split into three Java packages and that these names (front, biz, back) appear in the qualified package names. So if for example the application package was org.foo then middle-tier Java classes would be in or below the package org.foo.biz.

The front end implements the Model-View-Controller paradigm.
