MVC Model
Welcome to MVC-Generator !

Hi everybody! Please, celebrate with us our first version of MVC-Generator. Years of tedious work spent on writing repetitive, intelligence-free java code has finally come to an end. Try MVC-Generator and if you like it you are most welcomed to contribute, distribute or even just enjoy.

MVC is one of the most widely used design patterns, especially with web applications. For those who do not know what MVC is, read the following points:

  • M stands for Model which hides and represents your data source.
  • The Model has minimal logic.
  • V stands for View which is the topmost layer. It is simply the user interface.
  • The Controller C lays directly on the top of the Model. It is the logic. It says who goes where and what action in the view fires what event in the model.
  • MVC can be used with desktop, web or enterprise applications.

Using MVC-Generator greatly simplifies the process of creating the Model layer. Although the application is still considered in its cradle, it generates the beans, service classes, joint beans and joint service classes that mirrors a database schema determined by the user. Still much more to come, God willing.
