Abstract
This paper presents a method to generate a model of the code implementation for UML state diagrams. First, it promotes the states of a state machine into objects, and then it structures the behavior model on the mechanism of a state diagram based on State design pattern. Then, it establishes the rules of generating the code implementation, and using the rules, the Java code mode is generated for the implementations of State Diagrams in Java syntax grammar. In addition, Structuring the information of the code model is necessary for generating Java code automatically. The meta information is composed of Meta-Class Model and Meta-Behavior Model, on which we could construct the automatic code generating engine for UML State Diagrams. The implementation model generation method presented in this paper could be used as a stand-alone engine, or included and integrated as a module in the UML tools.
