Abstract
Life is fun and prospect of reincarnations is thus very attractive. People enjoy various ways how models may be transformed to executable code, how information may be derived, enriched, superimposed. It could take a number of complex transformations to reach the state of nirvana of a finally running application. Each such model transformation is like a reincarnation, new existence in a different body, the spirit mostly staying the same. We have been for years fascinated with this and tried different ways and approaches and we are experiencing a progress. We have extensively applied code generation in areas of enterprise systems integration and enterprise frontends. During time we have done code generation different ways into different target languages and we have also done a lot of direct model interpretation. More and more we value nirvana over many reincarnations, nevertheless there is still place left for code generation. In this paper we share our model-driven experience.
