3rd Party Tools
This section contains pointers to 3rd party tools.
Note: We do not provide support for these tools, please visit their respective websites for support, questions, or concerns.
Apple WebObjects
Description:
WebObjects is Apple's suite of tools and object-oriented
frameworks for creating and deploying scalable, reusable
web and Java applications for the Internet and intranets.
WebObjects supports the development, deployment, and
extension of standards-based web services without the need
to write low-level SOAP, XML or WSDL code. Tools enable
code-free generation, configuration, and testing of
applications from existing data assets.

Castor-Taglib
Description:
The Castor Taglib allows you to execute OQL queries in
your JSP page (using Castor JDO). It also helps you to
integrate Castor JDO with Java application servers like
Tomcat, making use of JNDI and Tyrex for managed transactions.
It is intended that support for more servlet containers
will be added.
The taglib is compatible with JSTL 1.0, and allows you
to use expression language (EL) to pass values dynamically
to the attributes of certain tags.

javadoc tags added in the source code. It also has the ability to generate
a DDL file for different databases.

Castor Oil
Description:
Castor Oil is a GUI tool for generating the Castor mapping file from
from existing data base tables. To my knowledge Castor Oil was the
first GUI tool written for Castor. It was originally written by
Lance Lavandowska, but has recently found a new maintainer and
developer, Peter Kasson, who has been actively working to bring
Oil back up to compatibility with the latest version of Castor.

This tool is a GUI front end to Castor's MappingTool. It allows
automatic creation and customization of mapping files. This tool
is primarily for Castor XML, but check out
JDOMapper from the same author.

JDOMapper
Description:
JDOMapper provides a user interface for creating Castor JDO mapping files.
The application allows user to import Java classes and map them to an relational
schema . The tool performs series of validations to ensure that classes and fields
are correctly mapped. Existing mapping files can also be imported into the tool.
JDOMapper will pre-fill most of the options for a class or field. Finally,
the User interface provides a more manageable view of the Mapping configuration,
especially as the number of mapped classes grows large.
