Allora leverages leading edge XML mapping and database technology to give application developers  bi-directional access to relational databases without the need for complex SQL or XSLT programming.  Allora speeds development and deployment by accurately and transparently transforming data  structures between XML elements and relational database structures. Once Allora mapping  is in place, full bi-directional XML-RDB access is enabled. Allora gives developers a simplified,  consistent XML interface to relational data. Allora brings even more value to application developers or DBAs that need to integrate any relational  database (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, Sybase, MS Access, Gupta, Ingres, Datacom, IDMS,  PostgreSQL, VisualFox Pro, Pointbase, etc…) with complex industry standard schemas.

FireStorm/DAO is a code generator that makes software developers more productive by automatically generating DAO code for accessing relational databases. FireStorm/DAO's code generation approach cuts costs through higher developer productivity, better software quality, and lower maintenance costs.

FireStorm/DAO generates Java source code and configuration files that developers would otherwise have to write by hand. FireStorm/DAO generates code that is compliant with the Data Access Object (DAO) design pattern (DAO is a core J2EE design pattern). FireStorm/DAO can also generate native persistence code for Object Relational Mapping (ORM) products (such as Hibernate), without the option of using the DAO design pattern. When generating Hibernate code (without DAOs), FireStorm/DAO produces Hibernate persistent classes and a Hibernate mapping file (*.hbm.xml) for each database table.

Put simply, Guice alleviates the need for factories and the use of new in your Java code. Think of Guice's @Inject as the new new. You will still need to write factories in some cases, but your code will not depend directly on them. Your code will be easier to change, unit test and reuse in other contexts.

Guice embraces Java's type safe nature, especially when it comes to features introduced in Java 5 such as generics and annotations. You might think of Guice as filling in missing features for core Java. Ideally, the language itself would provide most of the same features, but until such a language comes along, we have Guice.

Code coverage analysis (also called test coverage analysis) is an important step in software testing. As a white box testing strategy, it helps the testing team in determining if adequate testing has been done. Coverage analysis reveals areas of the code that have not been exercised during testing.
