Because TopLink uses a metadata architecture, it does not need to generate any code to enable your application’s persistence. TopLink can generate: • The TopLink project and associated descriptors into a single Java class that, when compiled, can be used in place of the runtime deployment XML file. • A table creator Java class that when compiled can create all the tables on the database with required constraints. • Source code for the classes defined in the project. • Java object model, EJB-CMP EntityBean model, and EJB-BMP EntityBean model from an existing database schema.
