Are you tired of repeatedly writing essentially the same Java code? XDoclet will take the burden of common development tasks off your shoulders by writing code for you. XDoclet is a metadata driven, code generation engine for Java. It generates deployment descriptors, interfaces, framework classes and other utility classes your project requires from simple JavaDoc-style comments.

  XDoclet in Action is a complete resource for XDoclet code generation. With many short code examples and a full-scale J2EE example, the book shows you how to use XDoclet with EJBs, Servlets, JMX, and other technologies. You'll also learn how to customize XDoclet beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities to generate code specific to your application. This book shows you how to write less code, how to keep your application components in sync, and how to keep your deployment, interface, utility and other information all in one place.
