<br><font size=2><tt>I don't think we have any support at the moment foe
EJB, Hibernate and Struts. I know of a project in ISIS where they have
models for CORBA and CCM (Corba Component model). </tt></font>

talk a little about a simple use case of GReAT in your setting. I might

<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>you would probably want to first create modeling environments
for the different target environments e.g. EJB, Hibernate, Struts. The
environment can then have their code generators that generate code/documentation/XMI.
In MDA terms this would be the PSM modeler. We could add these models to
the GME contribution library for future users. </tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Then you would create a PIM modeler which is your
front end. GReAT could then be used to convert the PIM models to whichever
PSM you want. </tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>In the process described you will unfortunately have
to implement all the parts as none of these environment exist. The good
news is that using GME creating modeling environments is easy. </tt></font>

<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>GReAT and UDM do not currently have an "export
to XMI" for the instance models of UDM. UDM class diagrams can be
converted to XMI but they do not buy much. If you are an expert in XMI
a generic export to XMI for UDM models would be really helpful and highly
appreciated. :)</tt></font>
