Hibernate DAO Code Generator
FireStorm/DAO makes Hibernate DAO developers more productive by automatically generating Java source code for accessing relational databases using the Hibernate framework. The benefits provided to Hibernate DAO developers by CodeFutures' code generation approach are higher developer productivity, better software quality, and lower maintenance costs. You can start using and benefiting from Hibernate straight away with FireStorm/DAO.

Hibernate DAO and ORM Code Generation
FireStorm/DAO is a code generator that can import existing database schemas (from a SQL script or from a live JDBC connection) and can then generate a complete persistence tier based on any of the following Java persistence technologies:
- Hibernate DAO
- Java Database Connectivity (JDBC DAO)
- Spring DAO
FireStorm/DAO generates Java source code and configuration files that developers would otherwise have to write by hand. FireStorm/DAO generates code that is compliant with the Data Access Object (DAO) design pattern (DAO is a core J2EE design pattern). FireStorm/DAO can also generate native persistence code for Object Relational Mapping (ORM) products (such as Hibernate), without the option of using the DAO design pattern. When generating Hibernate code (without DAOs), FireStorm/DAO produces Hibernate persistent classes and a Hibernate mapping file (*.hbm.xml) for each database table.
Reduced Hibernate Complexity
FireStorm/DAO adopts a pragmatic approach of generating Java source code for data persistence that is a direct mapping of a particular relational database schema. It is also possible to define complex multi-table queries and to leverage existing database logic contained within stored procedures.
The generated source code is well-written, consistent and contains documentation. Most importantly, the generated code is production quality and has been tested in literally hundreds of deployments world-wide.
