When I quit my day job in the summer of 2006 to bring an idea of mine to life as an Internet startup, I was faced with a huge number of questions and not a lot of clear answers. The excitement of starting a new project was soon tempered by the difficulty of choosing among the dizzying array of possible technical platforms and solutions. While the shelves were full of books focusing on each of the components of a web application, what I really wanted was a look at how all the pieces fit together.

There are three main reasons for using the JAVA programming language over other choices: portability, simplicity of coding, and widespread use; especially in web development. Java is completely portable between different operating systems (Mac, Linux, and Windows). This is because the code you write is only partially finished after it is compiled by the programmer. The rest of the work is performed on the user’s computer using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

XDoclet is basically just a code generation tool. Many applications have redundant code and/or interfaces and this is where XDoclet comes into play. You can update one source file and use XDoclet to regenerate the affected files. The incredible improvements to content management are clearly obvious. XDoclet parses source code like JavaDoc. By reading JavaDoc tags embedded in source code, XDoclet uses predefined templates to generate code based on those tags. A common use of XDoclet is to embed tags in EJB’s and automatically generate all of the interfaces, beans, and XML descriptors.
