For many years Model Driven Development and Service Oriented Architectures have progressed along separate but complimentary lines. However, challenges remain on both fronts as implementers strive to bridge the gap between their business processes and their software implementations. This presentation will describe how Skyway has utilized the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) to provide an easy to use, yet powerful modeling solution for both RIA and Web Services that enables a seamless blend of coding and modeling. Powered by EMF, these models generate standard Java code that is tailored to run utilizing the Spring Framework in both a web server only environment or in a full JEE container. The modeled solutions are portable across open source and diverse commercial infrastructure stacks.
