Dynamo is a code generator used to generate Ada Web Application or database mappings.

• New project template to generate Gtk Ada application
• Register the new module in the application when they are added
• Update the current testsuite when new tests are added
• New stereotype for Ada bean generation
• Support for the creation of Debian packages
• New command add-form and add-module-operation

You can download the new version at http://download.vacs.fr/dynamo/dynamo-0.7.0.tar.gz

Ada Web Application is a framework to build web applications.

• AWA uses Ada Server Faces for the web framework. This framework is using several patterns from the Java world such as Java Server Faces and Java Servlets.
• AWA provides a set of ready to use and extendable modules that are common to many web application. This includes managing the login, authentication, users, permissions.
• AWA uses an Object Relational Mapping that helps in writing Ada applications on top of MySQL or SQLite databases. The ADO framework allows to map database objects into Ada records and access them easily.
• AWA is a model driven engineering framework that allows to design the application data model using UML and generate the corresponding Ada code.

The new version of AWA provides:

• New jobs plugin to manage asynchronous jobs,
• New storage plugin to manage a storage space for application documents,
• New votes plugin to allow voting on items,
• New question plugin to provide a general purpose Q&A.

AWA can be downloaded at http://code.google.com/p/ada-awa/downloads/list

A live demonstration of various features provided by AWA is available at http://demo.vacs.fr/atlas

Dynamo is a tool to help developers write some types of Ada Applications which use the Ada Server Faces or Ada Database Objects frameworks. Dynamo provides several commands to perform one specific task in the development process: creation of an application, generation of database model, generation of Ada model, creation of database.

The new version of Dynamo provides:

• A new command build-doc to extract some documentation from the sources,
• The generation of MySQL and SQLite schemas from UML models,
• The generation of Ada database mappings from UML models,
• The generation of Ada beans from the UML models,
• A new project template for command line tools using ADO,
• A new distribution command to merge the resource bundles.

The most important feature is probably the Ada code generation from a UML class diagram. With this, you can design the data model of an application using ArgoUML and generate the Ada model files that will be used to access the database easily through the Ada Database Objects library. The tool will also generate the SQL database schema so that everything is concistent from your UML model, to the Ada implementation and the database tables.

The short tutorial below indicates how to design a UML model with ArgoUML, generate the Ada model files, the SQL files and create the MySQL database.

The Dynamo tool is available at http://code.google.com/p/ada-gen.

To build Dynamo, you will need:

• Ada ASF 0.5.0
• Ada ADO 0.4.0
• Ada EL 1.4.2
• Ada Util 1.6.1
• XML Ada 4.x or 3.x
