[Arp] Muse

[Tim Knip]

Great stuff!

A few remarks:

1. fail on startup: table 'mmug' not found... (needed to add a mmug-table)
2. needed to download/intstal MySql connector
3. AS-stubs:
	a. classname: 'business' and 'vo' not added to the classname
	b. methodname: 'delete' fails to compile on MTASC (delete is a
reserved word) suggestion: 'deleteOne' ?
	c. methodname: 'get' (suspicious: also reserved keyword) suggestion:
'getOne' ?

Cheers,
Tim

Onderwerp: Re: [Arp] Is ARP too much trouble?

Hi guys,

just wanted to inform you about Muse, a project I'm working on to 
generate code for different projects (ARP, AMFPHP, etc). It's written in 
C# for .NET 1.1. I already posted this on the OSFlash list, so here's 
the original message.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have been working on a tool that 
generates (stub) code for projects made with ARP and/or AMFPHP. The 
generated code is template based and can easily be modified.

It currently creates:
- a PHP DataSource to encapsulate the type of database you're using 
(currently only MySQL)
- PHP DAO's (Data Access Objects)
- PHP VO's (Value Objects)
- PHP AMFPHP Services (1 per business entity)
- AS2 ARP Commands to get/save/delete entities
- AS2 VO's (Value Objects)
- AS2 ARP Business Delegates
- a AS2 ARP Service Locator

To generate code:
- start the tool and enter your MySQL database credentials
- click "Connect", the database tables are shown in the checkboxlist
- select the entities (tables) you want to generate
- enter a package name
- enter the Flash Remoting gateway URL
- select the classes you want to generate
- click "Generate"

The code should now be created in an "output" folder in the same folder 
where you started the executable.

Note that this is just a very basic idea. I have only started working on 
it Saturday (listening to Muse, hence the name) and wanted more of proof 
of concept before coding the whole tool. The generated code has not even 
been tested (!!!), I'm just wondering if people would be interested in 
such a tool.

Feedback is welcome !

Some of the code it generates is hard-coded at the moment. I've been
changing it since to be 100% template based. You can even create your own
templates for a project based on Cairngorm (don't shoot me ARP'ers ;-)) for
instance since you get a whole list of keywords you can use. Grant (ARP
extension mastah!) has been asking about creating code from EJB's, but since
have no background in that I can't answer now. We'll be looking into it.

Again, any feedback is much appreciated !

If this project is of any interest, maybe we can make it an OS one on
OSFlash.


regards,
Christophe
