Pattern languages define a domain, easing application modeling by less experienced developers. With the use of a pattern language a generic architecture (frameworks or application generators) can be defined, capable of automating part of the new applications development process. That architecture can be represented by an Application Modeling Language (AML), using the concepts of software products line, which allow an application definition from high level specification. In that context, this work presents a Web based application generator for the Rehabilitation Clinic Management Systems domain (SiGCli; Sistemas de Gestão de Clínicas de Reabilitação, in portuguese), named GAwCRe (Web Application Generator for Rehabilitation Clinics; Gerador de Aplicações baseada Web para Clinícas de Reabilitação, in portuguese). Its instantiation for these applications is done using an AML that has been defined based on the SiGCli pattern language. A meta-model using the XML language has been made to represent AML and SiGCli information. Thus, the AML information presented in the applications generator instantiation interface is dynamically created. For the artifacts generation process, code templates are defined with substitution points previously established that have to assume the values defined in the XML document, according to the application AML specification. The XML document eases the AMl and SigCli documentation readability. With XML use, the GAwCRe applications generator has enough flexibility to support other pattern languages mapped to the XML structure defined, consequently allowing its reuse.
