Generator is a command line application to
facilitate the construction of small applications
that need some database objects. It isn't a
replacement for complex object persistence
solutions, like hibernate or TopLink, but it
covers a different target: the little Java Web
applications that don't use sophisticated
persistence options. Generator invocation is
simple: just type java -jar generator.jar -xml,
where the config file is an XML config file with
the definitions to connect to the database and
generate the bean classes. You can also use the
Ant task.
