===============================================

• Simple UML diagram
• .clay files are actually just XML
• Clay loader reads XML and creates a POJO to represent the database

• Read database metadata
• Look at exported keys to build relationships

• Uses database object created by clay or JDBC loader
• Creates boilerplate code for CRUD operations
• For each database table, the following are generated:
  • A domain object, DAO, and JUnit test
  • A controller, a REST resource, views (with Boostrap CSS), and corresponding MVC JUnit tests

The is a maven project that requires Java 1.7 and should be built using:

mvn clean install

1. Create a Maven Java Web Application project with Spring Framework 4.1.6, Tiles 3.0.5, Jetty 9.2.10, Spring Security 4.0.1, Hibernate 4.3.9.Final, and Jackson 2.5.2.
2. Open src/test/resources/Model.clay and edit tables as necessary
3. Run Protogen goals: mvn edu.uiowa.icts:protogen:2.0.5-SNAPSHOT:generate
4. Run JUnit, all tests should pass
5. export create table script from Clay as ${artifactId}.sql and run liquibase
6. start Jetty with JRE VM arguments: -Xms2000m -Xmx2000m -XX:MaxPermSize=2000m

Update log4j.properties to change location or log levels
