How can PRO-Gen be utilized to “reverse-engineer” an existing application to enhance or extend its operational capabilities?
Obviously that would depend on the existing application and the delta of capabilities needed. But that’s a rotten answer. Assuming the existing application is using Oracle and/or SQL Server, either with an existing application or for a new development project, here are a few relevant examples, based upon experience: 1> PRO-Gen can generate a very tidy Struts browser-independent web application directly from one or more databases, if that capability is needed. 2> If you have several ‘stovepipe’ applications (each app has a database and a separate UI hard-wired to the underlying database), you can logically combine the databases from the stovepipe applications into one set of J2EE persistent objects and also build a unifying new Struts-based application that uses your new multipurpose J2EE objects. One very nice feature of a PRO-Gen generated app is that it can safely run concurrently with and share the same databases as the stovepipe applications, permitting easy incremental production
