Skyway Builder is the code generation and scaffolding tool for accelerating the development of Spring web applications.

Key Features

• Spring MVC scaffolding capabilities for generating Spring-based, Java CRUD applications from new or pre-existing domain models
• Integration with IBM Rational Software Architect 7.5.2 to transform UML into working Spring applications
• Spring Web Flow support and visual flow editor
• DWR (JavaScript/JSON) support for accelerating RIA development using Spring services
• Integration with existing Java code, data objects and Spring Beans
• Code generation customization for generating Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow solutions that adhere to your own coding standards
• Runtime using Spring Framework 2.5 (w/ Hibernate JPA)

Key Benefits

• High quality and consistent code – the same Spring–certified code is generated every time, resulting in fewer defects and achieving adherence to coding standards
• Ease of use – design is specified in an abstract form, free of implementation details, making it easier to create and maintain
• Modular tooling – generate Spring code and artifacts either as an end–to–end solution or for individual Spring Framework modules (DAO, ORM, Web, Services, Core)
• Accelerated delivery – abstracted plumbing eliminates repetitiveness, resulting in development that is 2x to 5x faster than hand coding
• Convention over configuration – development gains simplicity by focusing on desired behavior instead of wiring and configuration
