Abstract

Software product lines are to attain the rapid development of qualify applications by concretizing the general components populated in software assets and assembling them according to the predefined architectures. For supporting the construction of the software product lines, this paper proposes a component code generation techniques based on GenVoca architecture and XML/XSLT technologies, In addition, CompGenX(Component Generator using XML), a component code generation system, is proposed on the basis of this techniques. By providing reconfigurability of component at the time of code generation, CompGenX allows the reusers to create the component source code that is appropriate to their purpose, In this system, the process of the component development is divided into two tasks which are the component family construction task and the component reuse task, For the component family construction, CompGenX provides the feature modeling tool for domain analysis and the domain architecture definition tool. Also, it provides the tool for building the component configuration know1edge specification and the code templates, For the component reuse task, it offers the component family search tool. the component customizing tool and the component code generator. Component code generation techniques and system in this paper should be applicable as basic technology to build the component-based software product lines.
