Application configuration

An application generated by JAG is based on an application file, an XML file containing information about the application.
There are several things that need to be configured before an application can be generated. These configurations settings are accessed via the four configuration screens:
  • Configuration
  • Application settings
  • Paths
  • Datasource

Here follows an explanation of the most important configuration settings:

Datasource settings


You can access the datasource settings screen by clicking on the 'Datasource' configuration node in the JAG Application tree. The settings in this screen are:

Configuration > Template

Application generation templates are an important concept in JAG: these are collections of individual template files that generate an application with a particular architecture. For example, one template may generate a EJB2.0 application, and another a EJB1.1 application: or there may be templates to generate applications that are tailored to specific application servers.

The template may be selected from the 'Configuration' screen by clicking the 'Select generation template' button and selecting a template directory.

Application settings > Logging

The type of logging used in the generated application is determined by this configuration setting: Apache's Log4J and Sun's JDK1.4 logging are currently supported.
