Abstract:
1. An automated method for converting tables of data in a source database to components of a target application, the method comprising the steps: obtaining by a computer identification of a) specified tables in said source database containing data usable in said target application, b) a target location for said target application and c) an application server being used for development of said target application at said target location reading by a computer definitions of said specified tables from said source database; and generating by a computer from said database definitions a plurality of source code files for each specified table, said source code files being generated directly in a language of said target application, each said specified table being referenced consistently across said plurality of source code files, said plurality of source code files including object classes and deployment descriptors, said specified tables being made accessible to a remote client by said target application, said target application being developed using said plurality of source code files, wherein said method is applied to obtain identification of specified tables, read definitions of the tables from the database, and generate from the database the source code files in the language of said target application in response to both updates in said database and updates in said target application.
