Abstract

Model Driven Development requires proper tools to derive the implementation code from the application models. However, the use of code generation tools may interfere with the software development and maintenance practices, because most state-of-the art tools are incapable of preserving manual modifications to the code when the implementation is regenerated from the models. In this paper, we present an approach which organizes the model transformation rules and the code architecture in a way that preserves the parts of the code that are defined outside the model-and-generate cycle, such as the code defining the look and feel of the user interface and the connection to the required service endpoints.
