In order to reverse engineer a existing database you can use the FetchDatasourceSchemaInfo Entry Point.

1. Create a new blank jACOB Application

2. Create a datasource in the jACOB Admin Application that points to the desired database you want to reverese engineer.

3. Call the entry point
http://localhost:8080/jacob/cmdenter?entry=FetchDatasourceSchemaInfo&app=admin&user=USERNAME&pwd=PASSWORD&dataSource=DATASOURCE&newapp=NEWAPP
Where you replace localhost:8080 with the real jACOB-server name and port.
Replace DATASOURCE in the url with the name of the data source schema information should be fetched from.
Replace NEWAPP in the url with the desired application name of the generated JAD file.

4. If everything works then your browser shows the new JAD.

Now show the source code of this page and paste the content into your application.jad
