Generating JSF Pages

Before generation, make sure that you have attached the Hibernate Extension file to the model, and checked the model for errors.

1. Select Language > Generate Java Code to open the Generation dialog.
2. Enter a directory in which to generate the files, and specify whether you want to perform a model check (see Checking an OOM).
3. Define generation options.
4. Click OK to begin generation.

   The generation produces the following files:

   • Persistent files (persistent classes, DAO, ...)

   • Eclipse and Eclipse WTP project artifacts

   • A home page

   • JSF pages for persistent classes:

     • A find page for searching objects

     • A list page for displaying find results

     • A create page for creating new objects

     • An edit page for updating objects

   • Managed beans

   • Page flows (face configuration files)
