IDL and DDL support

IDL Generation

You can generate Interface Definition Language (IDL) files based on Class diagrams. Both CORBA and COM IDL are supported by the IDL export feature. To export a class diagram to IDL, you must first activate IDL export support on the Modules tab of the Explorer (Early Access: IDL Export: IDL Export Support).

CORBA simultaneous round-trip engineering

Together supports simultaneous round-trip engineering for CORBA IDL. To use this feature you simply create a new project and select CORBA IDL as the programming language in the New Project dialog or New Project Expert. For existing IDL code, you can create a Together project for the existing code.

DDL generation for leading DBMSs

You can generate Data Definition Language from EJBs, Class diagrams, or Entity Relationship diagrams. DDL output is customized for specific DMBSs. You can see a list of currently supported systems in the Generate DDL dialog (Tools | Generate DDL), second page, in the Server type field.
