Hi,
Has anyone heard about an Archi plugin or any piece of software that converts a JEE Deployment Descriptor xml file into an ArchiMate model?
Best regards,
Marek
No, never heard of such a thing. Doesn't say much though, been a while since I was doing JEE and deployment descriptors.
I do wonder, are archimate models and JEE deployment descriptors somewhere on comparable levels of abstraction? I would rather expect something like an UML Object diagram. As I recall the deployment descriptor contains relations between concrete (running) instances of concrete classes, correct?

Hi,
I'm not aware of such plugin, but it should be technically feasible to use an XSLT transformation to convert a JEE Deployment Descriptor xml file into an ArchiMate model using the XML base Open Exchange Format.
I think the most "difficult" part is to map concepts to keep a (not too much screwed) meaning. I can help for this part if you have some good documentation of concepts used in a JEE Deployment Descriptor file).

Thanks guys for the answer.
I asked this question because I am looking for a solution that would streamline (or maybe even automated) the update of the technology architecture model.
BTW. Once upon a time I heard about Archi and CMDBBuild integration. Is this project still alive?

Marek.
