Abstract

J2EE is Java's platform for building distributed enterprise applications. The platform takes advantage of a wide range of new and evolving technologies and has been enriched by proven design solutions. These solutions are formulated and documented in what is known as J2EE design patterns. Rather than applying the patterns in isolation, a complete design system can be composed of the patterns. This pattern-based system can significantly ease the development process of J2EE applications and improve the quality of the produced software. In this paper, we will show how a general architectural tool (Fred) can be used to model such a pattern system and to generate an architecture-centric environment for developing J2EE applications. The environment is a task-based wizard that guides the user through the development of the application by enforcing certain design rules.
