Spring Web Flow Scaffolding

Overview

What is it?

Spring Web Flow scaffolding generates ready-to-run Spring Web Flow applications from existing artifacts such as database schemas, Java Beans and JPA entities. Within a matter of minutes, automatically create an application that contains a Spring Web Flow front-end integrated with a Spring (Spring/JPA/Hibernate) back-end.

Key aspects of Spring Web Flow scaffolding include:

• One flow is generated per domain object, and each flow handles all user events for the managing domain object and related domain object, including list, view, delete and add
• MyEclipse for Spring includes an enterprise-class Spring Web Flow Editor for authoring flows, providing a rich interface for graphically building and maintaining the flows
• The generated applications support both Spring 2.5.x and Spring 3.0

For more information and to see a blueprint of what gets generated, visit the MyEclipse for Spring Reference Guide.

Why use it?

Users who are new to Spring Web Flow development can leverage the Spring Web Flow scaffolding feature to quickly create their own contextual examples to reference while getting up to speed on Spring Web Flow. Experienced Spring Web Flow developers can use Spring Web Flow scaffolding to generate the boilerplate code, allowing them to accomplish in minutes what used to take hours or days.
