Need ability to pass global user-configurable platform-specific hints to
templates
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TORQUE-27
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-27
Project: Torque
Type: Improvement
Components: Generator
Versions: 3.2
Environment: Fedora Core 5 Linux, Sun JDK1.4.2_08.
Reporter: Adrian Price
Priority: Minor
It would be useful to provide a generic mechanism to enable the user to pass
global platform-specific hints to templates. For example, for MySQL it is
desirable to explicitly specify the type of table to be created, e.g., CREATE
TABLE foo (...) Type = InnoDB. Such global hints could then be specified by the
user through platform specific properties or property files, as in:
platform.properties:
mysql.table.hint=Type = InnoDB.
A matching table.vm template might look something like:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# $table.Name
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
$generator.parse("$basepath/drop.vm", "", "table", $tbl)
CREATE TABLE $table.Name
(
etc...
) $platform.getProperty('mysql.table.hint');
Without such a capability it is necessary to hard-code the required
customizations into the templates, which is a rather inflexible and
inconvenient way of doing it.
