Book Description
A guide to the new XDoclet development tool that eliminates programming busy work by automatically generating code and other deployment artifacts, this book enables developers who place metadata in a single source code file to use XDoclet to generate additional source code and other files that are required in a project. Both smaller code examples and a full-scale J2EE example illustrate everything needed to employ XDoclet code generation into a development cycle. In addition to the typical uses of XDoclet in J2EE development, the uses of XDoclet with non-J2EE technologies such as JDO, Hibernate, JMX, SOAP, and MockObjects are also detailed. Information on how to extend XDoclet to generate practically any code a programmer is furnished.

XDoclet in Action is an in-depth start at learning XDoclet,
By Carlos Valcarcel (Bohemia, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: XDoclet in Action (Paperback)
Are there plenty of code examples? YesIs the book easy to understand? Yes Does it trivialize complex topics? No Does the reference section add value? Yes Is this book useful? An unqualified yes! My needs in technology books are straightforward: give me a quick introduction and lots of examples. Walls and Richards have done a great job of explaining the nuts-and-bolts of XDoclet in a very lucid way. In working with an Eclipse plug-in that uses XDoclet as its code generation engine I was able to solve an XDoclet problem within a few minutes because I was able to look through the book's reference section and compare the information to a code sample earlier in the book. I found the book covered so many areas that I hope the author's are working on a follow-on book where they discuss some of the thornier issues in J2EE development and how XDoclet can be brought to bear to solve them. Based on the depth of this book, they still have a lot to say about J2EE development using code generation tools.

A superbly accessible and useful primer,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: XDoclet in Action (Paperback)
The collaboration of XDoclet seasoned experts and enthusiasts Craig Walls and Norman Richards, XDoclet In Action is a truly user-friendly introduction and guide to the metadata-driven, code generation engine for Java called XDoclet, and its many uses. A wealth of instructions, examples, and sample code lay out how XDoclet can be used with EJBs, Servlets, JMX, and other technologies, as well as customized or out-of-the-box uses to which XDoclet can be put for one's specific needs. A superbly accessible and useful primer, reference, and self-teaching tool, XDoclet In Action is a welcome addition to the computer reference shelf.

A Good Start, But Lacks Depth,
By
This review is from: XDoclet in Action (Paperback)
I bought this book on the strength of the Amazon reccomendations.If you don't know anything about XDoclet, or you don't like working from the online documentation, then you need this book. But if your a real world working developer who is hoping for a quick, detailed jumpstart then you will be disappointed. I feel the book starts well, but quickly becomes superficial and only addresses easy topics. For illustration, consider that entity bean relationships get less than two pages and a weak example. In comparison, "Enterprise Java Beans" by Monson-Haefel devotes a whole chapter to entity bean relationships. I feel this book would be much improved if the Blog example was more fully developed and the source was available (as O'Reilly does). As it stands, I'm still poking through the sample code provided w/XDoclet and creating small test applications to see what is generated. Too bad the book didn't answer my questions and save me some time.
