WildFly Builder

Prototype software factory that generates WildFly / Java EE apps from a shared template, metadata, and Groovy extenders.

Part of the SW-Builder factories for rapid Java EE / WildFly app development.

Catalog: https://sw-builder.com/appstore/builders/apps/wildfly-builder.html

template/ is a base WildFly application framework.

build/ holds reusable fragments declared in XML:

• APP_APPS.xml — application / module wiring
• APP_CODES.xml — code fragments
• APP_EVENT_CODES.xml — event handlers
• APP_FUNCS.xml — functions
• APP_PROCS.xml — procedures

An app-specific extender selects and applies those fragments onto the template.

Think of a 3D printer: small pieces of code are fused onto the template to produce a deployable WildFly app.

Build scripts live in each generated app repo, not in this builder. Example:

~/wildfly/wildfly-booklet-app/wildfly-booklet-build-deploy.sh

1. Pulls this builder

2. Overlays template/ and build/ onto the app

3. Runs update_and_commit.sh

4. Runs WildFlyBuilder and an app-specific extender (e.g. BookletExtender)
