    • Constructor Detail

      • CodeGenerator

        public CodeGenerator​(OpenJPAConfiguration conf,
                     Class type)
        Constructor. Supply configuration and class to generate code for.

      • CodeGenerator

        public CodeGenerator​(ClassMetaData meta)
        Constructor. Supply configuration and metadata to generate code for.

    • Method Detail

      • getCodeDirectory

        public File getCodeDirectory()
        The directory to write source to. Defaults to the current directory. If the given directory does not match the package of the metadata, the package structure will be created below the directory.

      • setDirectory

        public void setDirectory​(File dir)
        The directory to write source to. Defaults to the current directory. If the given directory does not match the package of the metadata, the package structure will be created below the directory.

      • getCodeFormat

        public CodeFormat getCodeFormat()
        The code formatter for the generated Java code.

      • setCodeFormat

        public void setCodeFormat​(CodeFormat format)
        Set the code formatter for the generated Java code.

      • getType

        public Class getType()
        Return the type being generated.

      • getMetaData

        public ClassMetaData getMetaData()
        Return metadata for the type being generated.

      • getCode

        public String getCode()
        Return the generated code, or null if generateCode() has not been called.

      • generateCode

        public void generateCode()
        Writes the generated code to the proper directory.

      • writeCode

        public void writeCode()
               throws IOException
        Write the generated code to the proper file.
        Throws:
        IOException

      • getImportPackages

        public Set getImportPackages()
        Returns the set of packages that needs to be imported for this code.

      • openClassBrace

        protected void openClassBrace​(CodeFormat code)
        Append the opening code-level brace to the code; this can be overridden to add code to the top of the class.

      • closeClassBrace

        protected void closeClassBrace​(CodeFormat code)
        Append the closing code-level brace to the code; this can be overridden to add code to the bottom of the class.

      • getFile

        public File getFile()
        Return Java file to write to.

      • newCodeFormat

        protected CodeFormat newCodeFormat()
        Return a copy of the internal code format.

      • getClassCode

        protected String getClassCode()
        Return a code template for the given class, or null to use the standard system-generated Java code. To facilitate template reuse, the following parameters can appear in the template; the proper values will be subtituted by the system:
        • ${packageDec}: The package declaration, in the form "package <package name >;", or empty string if no package.
        • ${imports}: Imports for the packages used by the declared field types.
        • ${className}: The name of the class, without package.
        • ${extendsDec}: Extends declaration, in the form "extends <superclass>", or empty string if no superclass.
        • ${constructor}: A constructor that takes in all primary key fields of the class, or empty string if the class uses datastore identity.
        • ${fieldDecs}: Declarations of all the declared fields.
        • ${fieldCode}: Get/set methods for all the declared fields.
        Returns null by default.

      • getInitialValue

        protected String getInitialValue​(FieldMetaData field)
        Return code for the initial value for the given field, or null to use the default generated by the system. Returns null by default.

      • getDeclaration

        protected String getDeclaration​(FieldMetaData field)
        Return a code template for the declaration of the given field, or null to use the system-generated default Java code. To facilitate template reuse, the following parameters can appear in your template; the proper values will be subtituted by the system:
        • ${fieldName}: The name of the field.
        • ${capFieldName}: The capitalized field name.
        • ${propertyName}: The field name without leading '_', if any.
        • ${fieldType}: The field's type name.
        • ${keyType}: Key type name for maps, null otherwise.
        • ${elementType}: Element type name for collections, null otherwise.
        • ${fieldValue}: The field's initial value, in the form " = <value>", or empty string if none.
        Returns null by default.

      • getFieldCode

        protected String getFieldCode​(FieldMetaData field)
        Return a code template for the get/set methods of the given field, or null to use the system-generated default Java code. To facilitate template reuse, the following parameters can appear in your template; the proper values will be subtituted by the system:
        • ${fieldName}: The name of the field.
        • ${capFieldName}: The capitalized field name.
        • ${propertyName}: The field name without leading '_', if any.
        • ${fieldType}: The field's type name.
        • ${keyType}: Key type name for maps, null otherwise.
        • ${elementType}: Element type name for collections, null otherwise.
        • ${fieldValue}: The field's initial value, in the form "= <value>", or empty string if none.

      • usePropertyBasedAccess

        protected boolean usePropertyBasedAccess()
        Whether to use property-based access on generated code. Defaults to false (field-based).

      • getClassAnnotations

        protected List getClassAnnotations()
        Return class-level annotations. Returns null by default.

      • getFieldAnnotations

        protected List getFieldAnnotations​(FieldMetaData field)
        Return field-level annotations. Returns null by default.

      • useGenericCollections

        protected boolean useGenericCollections()
        Whether to use generic collections on one-to-many and many-to-many relations instead of untyped collections. Override in descendants to change default behavior.
