SpringFuse

When to use Springfuse?

Eliminate repetitive tasks

When you identify a repetitive task, your duty is to automate it. Springfuse automates the tedious and repetitive task of writing the first piece of code of a new Java project.

Actually this first piece of code that Springfuse generates constitute the backbone of your application. It goes way beyond a simple copy paste. It covers subject such as persistence, 2d level cache, security, dependency injection, distribution, localization, unit tests, etc.

In just a few seconds, Springfuse relieves you from the burden of coding all this not-so-funny part of your application.

Therefore

• You save weeks.
• You reduce your risks.
• You learn from the generated code.
• You can focus on developing real features.
• You deliver on time.

Learn faster technologies

There are so many Java technologies around! It is moving so fast! Which ones to choose ? And then, what are the associated best practices ? You do not always have the time to answer these questions.

Springfuse's mission is to deliver world-class project built on standard or de facto standard technologies following industry best practices

Therefore

• You reduce your maintenance costs.
• Developers learn faster and better with concrete code.
• You improve the overall quality of your project.

Make it possible !

Cost cuttings, lack of resources, lack of training, impossible dead lines, you name it.

When the wall in front of you is too high, you just cannot climb it without help. Springfuse can be a precious ladder. Here are two use cases:

Prototyping

Writing a prototype for free is a common practice in the industry. You have to work fast, for free, and deliver top notch quality to get the deal.

Springfuse increases drastically your chances to succeed.

Application rewriting

Deciding to rewrite an application is a tough decision. There are often many risks. However, when your customer ask for patches and features that you cannot deliver in time because of some some old code that nobody understand anymore, you do not have many choices. But it is too much work, you would need a second team, but there is no budget for that.

Springfuse helps your existing team make the first move toward your application rewriting.

Steps to generate a Java EE application

Before starting, if you are totally new to SpringFuse, you should take a few moment to understand how it works.

Requirements

• Have at least Java 1.6 and Maven 2 installed on your machine.

To generate a project, adjust the settings below and execute the resulting command lines in a console.

Step 1/4: Configure your project

Once you are done, copy-paste sequentially these maven commands from step 2 and from step 4 in a console:

Step 2/4: Fetch the appropriate archetype

Copy paste the command below in a console to create the minimal set of files required to reverse the database.

Step 3/4: Configuration (Optional)

Once you become familiar with Springfuse, you may want to configure the code generation.

Step 4/4: Reverse and Code Generation

Copy paste these commands in a console to:

• reverse your database schema, or the H2 database example we provide
• send only the database schema to our server
• download the generated project from our server and unzip it
• deploy the project locally using Jetty servlet container (http://localhost:8080/) or, for backend project run all the unit tests.

If the remote generation fails (error, missing entities, etc.), please read this faq entry. You should also provide a valid email in the form above to obtain the generation logs.

The first time you use Springfuse or Maven you may be disappointed by the time Maven takes to download all the jar dependencies. Just be patient...
