JAG 4.2: Hibernate 3 and Axis 1.2 Webservices

Michael O'Connor — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 21:33:09 -0000

JAG 4.2

Hibernate 3 with xdoclet support
--------------------------------
JAG 4.2 adds support for Hibernate 3 using Xdoclet tags. Since xdoclet currently doesn't have support for Hibernate 3,
Ant postprocessing is used to fix the generated mapping files.

Business methods
----------------
Another big enhancement to JAG is support for Business methods.
You can model business methods in the JAG gui by adding methods to the Sessions or add them in the UML model.
The business methods will appear as service interfaces and stub implementations will be
generated for the selecte business tier.

Axis Webservices
----------------
If webservices are enabled in the JAG gui, the business methods will be exposed using Apache Axis.
To install the webservices, run "ant axis.wsdl2java" which will first generate a WSDL from the business methods,
and convert them to java stubs. After deployment, the webservice can be installed using the
"ant axis.admin" target. The webservice can be tested using "ant test".
To ensure platform indepence of the deployed webservice, also a dotnet test client can be used.
Use "ant dotnet" to build and run a dotnet client for the deployed axis webservice.
