DomainModelingLanguage

The DomainModelingLanguage is a special purpose language, which was developed with the following goals in mind:

• Simplify the specification of a set of classes to represent the domain of a Java application.

• Be simple to use by Java programmers.

• Integrate seamlessly with the Java programming language.

• Deal only with the structural aspects of the domain, rather than the behavioral.

Currently, we have a compiler for a simple version of this language that provides two backends. Each backend generates a set of Java classes, which can be further refined by the programmer:

• Classes similar to the ones used in the Fénix domain.

• Classes that represent VersionedObjects.

We will add more information on this subject soon.
