Abstract
In this paper we present an example of a software infrastructure to support domain engineering activities. An important piece of the infrastructure is the ability to connect the outputs of the domain analysis to the inputs of the domain implementation. The combination of XML and Java provides a very interesting alternative to classical parser generation tools. XML can be used as a specification language to describe programs. In this paper we will describe how to connect the output of a domain analysis tool to a program generator. We will also describe how to use Java and XML tools to write program generators in Oracle9i. We will show how we can specify a search engine application in XML and how the generator can produce code for three different languages: Java Server Pages, PL/SQL, and PL/SQL Server Pages.
