Great tool now I need to work on the Java skills to dig deeper. I tried to compile the Cairngorm model and it didn’t work seems to not be able to find the data model class Beans corresponding to the attribute. I’ll keep trying and post if I can get it working. Thanks again for another great tool!

I believe Hamachi should be able to generate SQL, if that’s what you mean. We don’t use it that way, however.

I have used xdoclet2 and xslt extensively in the past. Xdoclet2 is perhaps more comparable since it also uses Velocity templates. I find xdoclet2 rather obscure sometimes, and the reliance on Java annotations forces one to model everything as a Java interface or class, which is sometimes very awkward.

At Allurent we use Hamachi very extensively and I’m very happy with it relative to xdoclet2. I am much more comfortable defining the model in XML.

I have always been looking for good code generators. Hamachi seems very promising. I havent yet fully understood the tool. Can it work directly database? So far I use xslt and xdoclet2 based on customized templates. It works ok after a lot of pretty complex customization. Hoping that Hamachi will ease it.
