Introduction to PAMELA

PAMELA is an annotation-based Java modelling framework.

The strong idea behind this technology is a smooth integration between model and code, without code generation nor externalized model serialization.

We want here to avoid separation between modelling and code to facilitate consistency management and avoid round-tripping issues.

Key features of PAMELA

  • Model/code strong coupling
  • No code generation: the 'model' is serialized in the Java code with annotations
  • Custom implementations might be redefined by the developper
  • All is executed at run-time: Java dynamic binding is overriden
  • Support for multiple inheritance in Java
  • XML serialization/deserialization
  • On the fly metamodel closure computation (powerfull management of metamodel fragmentation)
  • Integrated notification management
  • Embedding management
  • Object graph closure computation
  • Deletion management
  • Clipboard operations (copy, cut, paste) management
  • Multi-delevel undo/redo support
  • A graphical editor is also provided in this project, allowing to graphically view and edit PAMELA models
