A method, system and apparatus for managing visual renderings of typing classes in a model driven development environment. The method can include toggling a visual rendering of a typing class for a specified typed member in a visually rendered owner class in response to a selection of an activatable toggle disposed in proximity to the visually rendered owner class in the model driven development environment. The toggling step further can include toggling a visual rendering of a linkage between the typing class and the visually rendered owner class responsive to the selection. Additionally, the toggling step further can include the step of toggling an appearance of the activatable toggle responsive to the selection.

A method for the modularized customization of a model within a model driven development environment includes selecting a template specifying a base model and different points of variability of a base model in a model driven development environment and transmitting over a data communications network an electronic form configured to receive data in different data fields representative of the points of variability. Thereafter, a submission of the electronic form can be received and data from the received submission representative of the points of variability can be extracted. Instructions can be added to a control file corresponding to the points of variability and the control file can be processed to generate artifacts in an import file specifying the points of variability. Finally, the import file can be imported into the model driven development environment and the base model modified with the points of variability of the artifacts.

The invention relates to a system and method for expanding the model driving development capability by applying a plug-in. In the system and the method, a'model and plug-in' combined mode is provided to describe and establish a software system, firstly a model designing tool is used for establishing basic model description of the software system and then establishing a plurality of reusable plug-pin model for further describing a basic model object, the plug-in model can be expanded randomly on various basic model objects, and the plug-in can complete a software function with any complexity, therefore, the expansion of the model driving development capability is realized. By utilizing the invention, the technical problems of the existing model driving development method that because a fixed model is adopted, the describing capability of complex service system is poor, and the software system with the model driving development can not be established, expanded and maintained visually and dynamically under the operating state and the like are solved. The system developed by using the method has the advantages that the development complexity degree is low, the development speed is fast, the reusable degree of technology is high, the expansion is flexible, the maintenance is convenient and the reliability is high.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for mapping models to relational databases for reporting tools. In an embodiment of the invention, a model mapping method for models of a model driven development (MDD) environment can include initializing a database table and selecting a data source storing a modeling framework representation of a model. A first query can be executed against an application programming interface (API) of the data source supporting a modeling framework query language to retrieve selected elements of the model. Likewise, a second query can be executed against the API of the data source to retrieve selected attributes of the selected elements of the model. Finally, rows of the database table can be populated with the retrieved selected elements of the model and corresponding columns of the database table can be populated with the retrieved selected attributes of the selected elements of the model. Consequently, a report can be generated for the model based upon the rows and columns of the database table.
