Tools for Java Developers
EBX.Platform provides the Java Developer with tools that facilitate usage of the EBX.API, and integration with development environments:
Add-on JSP TagLib
In order to facilitate the access to Master Data from Java Server Pages (JSP), an add-on is provided
for example purposes in directory
ebx.software/jsp-taglib of the installation CD. The implementation source code is also included and can be freely modified to adapt to particular application contexts.
Developer Assistant
In developer mode, EBX.Manager provides development and configuration assistance features.
Activating the development mode
To activate development assistance features, you need to run EBX.Platform in "development" mode. It is specified in ebx.properties with the following property:
backend.mode=development
Developer Bar
The Developer bar is displayed in development mode. This bar gives access to the product documentation, javadoc and specific features such as Java generation or synchronization of the adaptation model.
Button 'Refresh models'
Typical scenario: the developer modifies his adaptation model (for example, he adds new nodes). He wants to see this change in EBX.Manager, without restarting the application server.
Button 'Generate Java'
The button 'Generate Java' generates the Java types specified by the Bindings .
Button to get the path to a node
For each adaptation terminal node, the button 
at the right side of the node label allows to select the absolute path to the node or a JSP tag. By selecting an element, you can copy/paste the code in your Java or JSP editor.
