BW*Wizard for Struts (aka StrutsWizard) is a rapid application development tool which will save you a significant amount of time when developing new applications. It produces pure source code programs from Reusable Design Patterns (Templates). Programs that would take days to produce using manual methods can be produced in minutes.

BW*Wizard for Struts is a Model-driven tool. You start a project by importing the 'create table' statements for your data model. You then create new programs by dragging columns from the data model into the view for the program. You can then specify how to display the columns (e.g. text, checkbox, radio button, etc), what labels to use, and what edits to apply.

BW*Wizard for Struts builds complete working Struts-based programs, including the JSP, ActionForm, Action, struts-config.xml, etc., plus a full Model data-access bean with fully-functional JDBC SQL.

BW*Wizard for Struts builds menus, scrolling lists, and detail forms, with all the navigation using Struts action mappings. The text labels and messages are fully international enabled, using Struts application resources.

The built view forms may show the data as text fields, labels, radio buttons, checkboxes, select lists, etc., and may use advanced features such as select lists populated from the data model and pop-up lists which open in separate windows.

View type definitions and edits rules can be entered into the StrutsWizard repository so they can be reused by multiple programs. Some edits will be implemented using the Struts Validator, and others are built into the Model data-access bean as business logic.

BW*Wizard capitalizes on automating Design Pattern reuse, which is a principal technique used by all programmers employing manual development methods. Through easily customizable Design Patterns your development team will be able to rapidly produce code that has the look and feel that your organization desires. Pure source code is produced which means that there is no disruption to your organization's maintenance procedures while realizing BW*Wizard's significant productivity gains.
