Re: Abator tool extension

[Jeff Butler]

Hi Francois,

This seems like something that is pretty specific to your needs.  I think
the best way to handle this would be to write a "hook" into Abator to do
this.

The version of Abator in SVN includes new methods on all generators that
allow you to add to the generated classes.  For example, the
JavaModelGeneratorJava2Impl class has methods like
afterBaseRecordGenerationHook(...) that would let you accomplish this.  Will
this work for you?

 Hi,



            I'm wondering if it could be possible to add the column names
as constant in the generated Java Model. I've tried something like that

In the class *JavaModelGeneratorJava2Impl *and it works fine for me :



        // FLD

        Field constant;

        Method method;



        *while* (columnDefinitions.hasNext()) {

            ColumnDefinition cd = (ColumnDefinition)
columnDefinitions.next();

            FullyQualifiedJavaType fqjt = cd.getResolvedJavaType()

                    .getFullyQualifiedJavaType();



            topLevelClass.addImportedType(fqjt);



            String property = cd.getJavaProperty();



            field = *new* Field();

            field.addComment(table, cd.getColumnName());

            field.setVisibility(JavaVisibility.*PRIVATE*);

            field.setType(fqjt);

            field.setName(property);

            topLevelClass.addField(field);



            // FLD - begin

            constant = *new* Field();

            constant.addComment(table, cd.getColumnName());

            constant.setVisibility(JavaVisibility.*PUBLIC*);

            constant.setModifierFinal(*true*);

            constant.setModifierStatic(*true*);

            constant.setType(FullyQualifiedJavaType.*getStringInstance*
());

            constant.setName(cd.getColumnName());

            constant.setInitializationString("\""+property+"\"");

            topLevelClass.addField(constant);

            // FLD – end

            …



This is very usefull when you handle the domain classes from within
binding solutions like "JGoodies bindings" to reference bean properties.



Thanks
