Chapter 6. Modeling and code generation

In this chapter we discuss how we can use the model created from our design activities to generate code for our application using the Rational Rose product. We describe the concept of “round tripping” and discuss integration with other development tools described in this book, particularly VisualAge for Java.

We also introduce the J2EE support included with Rose, and describe how we can use it to model and then generate code for one of the EJBs from our PiggyBank application.
