For architects evaluating MDA in enterprise contexts. This session mapped an open‑source toolchain (modeling, transformation, generation) to a JEE stack, highlighting where automation pays off and where hand‑coding remains essential.
Key Takeaways
- Toolchain: meta‑model + transformations + templates = repeatable delivery.
- Traceability: keep links from model to generated code for audits and fixes.
- Realism: generate the 80% that repeats, keep the 20% handcrafted.
