Generating a model

A model is the essential part of ADempiere as it allows us to implement business logic. A model represents a table in the database schema. Given a table, ADempiere provides the tools to generate the model which has the built-in persistence capability. A model is required if you want to write a process or validation logic, toolbar button actions, and so on. This recipe describes the steps to generate a model from a database table.
