Abstract
This presentation examines an automated approach for translating business models into the application code necessary to implement a business solution. Development projects frequently proceed from business definition directly to coding tasks. This ignores the intermediate application-specific layer of definition, and contributes to deviations from an organization's platform-specific architectural standards. The application model is where business requirements are architected to a platform-specific technology implementation. Lack of attention to this layer contributes to lack of continuity between architectural design and the implemented code. A model-driven and pattern-driven approach to development introduces this layer. The use of transformation patterns to change business requirements into a platform-specific model enforces J2EE architectural standards and assures the best coding standards.
