Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Vincent Massol (vmassol) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Test XDoclet Initial Comment: Hi, Thanks for that great tool. Here is the XDoclet that I'd like to develop for Cactus (http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus), a unit testing framework for server-side java code : * Create a "@test <unit test class name - same format as @see>" javadoc tag * Have a XDoclet that would read this and add the unit test _source_ code to the documentation for that class, i.e. in the javadoc of the method/class, there would be a link to the source test. Incentive: The main idea is that unit test provide a good way to document code as provide samples of how to use a given method. Usually, existing javadoc is missing badly examples in the javadoc comments. Doing it the way I described it would bring 2 advantages : 1/ You have a suite of unit test for your code that is always up to date (you run them often in the XP way of course) 2/ You have associated documentation with examples that are always working ! Question/Feature request : * Is it possible to do with XDoclet ? Notably, is there an API to get the _source_ code ?

It's not really about modifying a class but rather getting information about a class (including method source code snippets) and generating HTML (javadoc). I'm eagerly waiting for xjavadocs. Is there a place I can monitor its progress (or even help, if I find the time ;- )) ? CVS ? Thanks -Vincent ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2002-02-17 08:40 Message: Logged In: NO What you're describing is not yet possible. First AFAICS you want to modify a class, not generating a new class. That's not possible right now, you have to wait till another module we're working on (xjavadocs) is finished, you'll be able to modify classes and many other cool stuff! Also currently you can't get the source code body of a method or class or whatever, just the class structure. Again xjavadocs will make it possible.
