3.5. Generating an application from an existing database

Manually create tables in your database. (To switch to a different database, run seam setup again.) Now type:seam generate-entities

Restart the deployment, and go to http://localhost:8080/helloworld. You can browse the database, edit existing objects, and create new objects. The code generated here is very simple. Seam was designed so that data access code is easy to write by hand, even without the assistance of seam-gen.
