  +--org.enhydra.zeus.generator.SimpleGenerator

public class SimpleGenerator

extends java.lang.Object

implements Generator

Generator is the portion of Zeus that will convert a set of constraints, visible through a Binding, and output them as generated Java classes (to a File [directory]).

SimpleGenerator is the simplest form of a Generator and takes in either a single Binding or a List of them, and directly generates Java classes.

Field Detail

collectionClass

protected java.lang.String collectionClass

protected java.lang.String javaPackageAsDir

The package name of the interface/implementation classes in directory form.

Constructor Detail

SimpleGenerator

public SimpleGenerator()

This will construct a new instance of SimpleGenerator.

Method Detail

setCollectionClass

public void setCollectionClass(java.lang.String collectionClass)

This will set the Collection class to use anytime that a collection of values need to be stored. The default value for this class is stored in Generator.DEFAULT_COLLECTION_CLASS. The class specified should be an implementation of the java.util.Collection interface.

Note that the supplied class name must be fully qualified. For example, java.util.List would be fine, but List would not be.

Specified by:

setCollectionClass in interface Generator

Parameters:

collectionClass - String name of collection to use.

getCollectionClass

public java.lang.String getCollectionClass()

This will return the current class used for Collection properties.

Specified by:

getCollectionClass in interface Generator

Returns:

String - name of class used for Collections.

getJavaPackage

public java.lang.String getJavaPackage()

Returns the Java package to unmarshall classes to.

Specified by:

getJavaPackage in interface Generator

Returns:

String - the Java package to unmarshall to.

setJavaPackage

public void setJavaPackage(java.lang.String javaPackage)

Sets the Java package to generate new classes within. For example, supplying the value com.foo.bar to this method and then generating classes, those classes would all be in the com.foo.bar package after generation.

Specified by:

setJavaPackage in interface Generator

Parameters:

javaPackage - String the Java package to generate classes within.

generate

public void generate(Binding binding,
                     java.io.File directory)
              throws java.io.IOException

This will convert from a set of constraints to Java classes. It accesses those constraints through the Binding interface, which provides them in a representation-independent format, and then converts them into Java code, which is output to the supplied File.

Specified by:

generate in interface Generator

Parameters:

binder - Binder with ability to convert from constraints to Zeus Bindings.

directory - File to output generated classes to.

Throws:

IOException - - when errors in writing to the supplied Result occur.
