The Server Development Environment uses a model-based approach to development. An application model is defined in a business-centric and platform-independent manner using a UML modeling tool. The model is the key building block for the code generators as it defines all the required entity objects and process objects.
The generators will create the necessary classes and files for the application structure. This structure will also have all the Remote Interface Layer code, the Data Access Layer code and the Business Object Layer code as well as handcrafted code.
