XiT Xml2Bean Module

Description

Xml2Bean is an XML 2 Java Bean source code generator . It creates a  Java "model" based on xml  meta-data to create different types of Java beans. The XiT pipeline passes this model to the Velocity Adapter, which merges the model with a Velocity template to generate source code.

Any type of source code that uses a component architecture ( getters and setters ) can be generated using this module. Templates available for this project are:

• persistent bean template creates persistent Java Beans classes.
• pojo bean template create simple (plain old java object) bean classes.
