This is more of a torque question than turbine... I had just grown used to using it in my old turbine environment.  I found the old task that did the job here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/torque/tags/TORQUE_3_1_1/src/generator/src/java/org/apache/torque/task/TorqueDataSQLTask.java?revision=229611&view=markup


However, it looks like it has been removed from newer versions of torque.  It was an old maven-1  target  torque-data-sql

I think the easiest option for now is to run the old code, let it generate the SQL output and then bring that into my new project :-(

Hello turbine users,


I feel like I have asked this question before and don't remember the answer (if there was one).

I have an old project where I had made extensive use of the application-data.xml - it was still based on turbine-2.3.3 and I am upgrading this app now to the latest and greatest since I need to use it on another project.

I had it generating screens based on a templating system I could configure from the application-data.xml (I would define for example multiple choice questions and have all possible values defined in the xml schema)...

It worked great and allowed me to generate these "form" apps quickly since I can re-use the question types and options pretty easily.


An example:

I have grouped questions by top level..

<QuestionGroup RefId="1" Name="Poster Data" DisplayOrder="1"/>

Then, the actual questions assigned to a group have properties like the following:

 <SelectQuestion RefId="10"     GroupId="1" DisplayOrder="1"     Question="ReporterType" Label="Who is posting" HasOther="0"     Instructions="HCP: An HCP includes doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other professional health care providers." />  <SelectQuestion RefId="11"     GroupId="1" DisplayOrder="2"     Question="NoYesOption"  Label="Patient's own experience" HasOther="0"     Instructions="If post is from a patient, does it represent their own experience?" />  <SelectQuestion RefId="12"     GroupId="1" DisplayOrder="3"     Question="AgeGroup"      Label="Patient age range" HasOther="0"     Instructions="" />  <SelectQuestion RefId="13"     GroupId="1" DisplayOrder="4"     Question="Gender"          Label="Patient gender" HasOther="0"     Instructions="" />

... then for "Question" I had defined options to select from... HasOther is a flag to allow for additional free text entry.

for the first one above, "Who is posting" would have the following options in a drop down select control:

  <SelectOption RefId="51" DisplayOrder="1" Question="ReporterType" Name="Unknown" DefaultOption="1"/>   <SelectOption RefId="52" DisplayOrder="2" Question="ReporterType" Name="Patient/consumer" DefaultOption="0"/>   <SelectOption RefId="53" DisplayOrder="3" Question="ReporterType" Name="HCP" DefaultOption="0"/>   <SelectOption RefId="54" DisplayOrder="4" Question="ReporterType" Name="Other Family Member or Friend" DefaultOption="0"/>

If I have to extract all of this and generate SQL again from the XML myself, that is going to be a lot of work.

I can get things to load if I manually convert and stick into the application-data.sql when creating a new app from scratch, but the new setup simply ignores my XML file for application data.... kind of annoying.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Did I miss something in the torque setup that would make it load this?


Thanks!

Jeff
