Model Driven Development

Description

mix between 2 technologies:

• apache ant,
• freemarker

Mix very well:

• declarative
• versionnable

There are many detractors of MDD approach because a lot of projects have failed because of using code generation. But there are also a lot of projects that failed because of an artisanal approach that have more and more side effects while it grows.

This page is not a article to speak about pro or cons MDD. see: Todo. It is a pragmatic solution I developped for my needs, nothing more, nothing less.

There are also a lot of other solutions, like :

• …

• complexity increase

• unmaintanable

• repetitive development

• human errors

• faster

• explicit (vs complex implicit models)

• increase quality

• error tolerant

• homogen

• Manual changes must NOT be applied to generated code

• Manual changes must be applied to specific code, even if it can be generated once at the first time

• Conception and separation between generic (and generated) code and specific (manual) code is important

• technical vs business layer
