Once an application has been generated from the appl.xml and impl.xml files by the gesgen plugin, they will require a few cleanup steps. This is necessary in order to map data objects to a particular database, force the Studio development environment to generate additional support and deployment files, register objects with JNDI, and a few other similar "housekeeping" steps. Most of these could probably be eliminated with additional effort on our part and access to IBM proprietary APIs. But, for now, these tasks fall to the user. For an application with 3 or 4 objects, cleaning up a full 7-layer EJB solution should take only about 15 minutes or so (may be a little longer the first time or two the user generates and tests an application) and even less for Web and HTTP container applications.
Because the steps are slightly different for the three basic types of implementation, we have included separate checklists. They are listed and accessible, below.
