    Multi-Dimensional Development Approach

    Packets, with its perfect blend of products and services, uses three dimensional development approaches for developing applications depending on the nature of the application and the client. Below are the development approaches Packets follows:
  • Forward Engineering
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Forward Engineering

    Using this approach, J2EE applications are developed from scratch. The starting point for this is an object model represented by a class diagram. The code for the enterprise beans is generated from the object model and the classes are mapped to an underlying database schema for persistence.

    Reverse Engineering

    When an EJB application has to be built from an existing schema, the reverse engineering approach is used. Using this approach, a database schema is reverse engineered and entity beans classes are generated for the tables in the database.
