We found that the behavior of active objects can well be represented by activity diagrams rather than state diagrams. The paper first explains our approach to convert state diagrams as well as activity diagrams into implementation code. The paper then describes our system, dCode, which automatically generates executable Java code from the object diagram, state diagrams and activity diagrams of an application. The paper also presents the results of the experiment in which the code generated by dCode was compared to that of Rhapsody.
