Constructor Detail

SourceGenerator

public SourceGenerator()
Creates a SourceGenerator using the default FieldInfo factory

SourceGenerator

public SourceGenerator(FieldInfoFactory infoFactory)
Creates a SourceGenerator using the specific field info Factory.

Parameters: infoFactory the FieldInfoFactory to use.

SourceGenerator

public SourceGenerator(FieldInfoFactory infoFactory, ExtendedBinding binding)
Creates a SourceGenerator using the specific field info Factory and the given Binding element .

Parameters: infoFactory the FieldInfoFactory to use. binding the binding element to use.

Method Detail

generateSource

public void generateSource(Schema schema, String packageName)
Creates Java Source code (Object model) for the given XML Schema.

Parameters: schema the XML schema to generate the Java sources for. packageName the package for the generated source files.

generateSource

public void generateSource(InputSource source, String packageName)
Creates Java Source code (Object model) for the given XML Schema

Parameters: source - the InputSource representing the XML schema. packageName the package for the generated source files

generateSource

public void generateSource(Reader reader, String packageName)
Creates Java Source code (Object model) for the given XML Schema.

Parameters: reader the Reader with which to read the XML Schema definition. The caller should close the reader, since thie method will not do so. packageName the package for the generated source files

generateSource

public void generateSource(String filename, String packageName)
Creates Java Source code (Object model) for the given XML Schema.

Parameters: filename the full path to the XML Schema definition packageName the package for the generated source files

getVersion

public static String getVersion()
Returns the version number of this SourceGenerator

Returns: the version number of this SourceGenerator

main

public static void main(String[] args)
main class used for command line invocation

Parameters: args the String[] consisting of the command line arguments

mappingSchemaElement2Java

public boolean mappingSchemaElement2Java()
Tests the org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping property for the 'element' value.

Returns: True if the Source Generator is mapping schema elements to Java classes.

mappingSchemaType2Java

public boolean mappingSchemaType2Java()
Tests the org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping property for the 'type' value.

Returns: True if the Source Generator is mapping schema types to Java classes.

setBinding

public void setBinding(ExtendedBinding binding)
Sets the binding to use with this instance of the SourceGenerator.

Parameters: binding the binding to use, null indicates that the default binding will be used.

setBinding

public void setBinding(String fileName)
Sets the binding to use given the path name of a Castor Binding File.

Parameters: fileName the file that represents a Binding

setBinding

public void setBinding(InputSource source)
Sets the binding to use given an InputSource identifying a Castor Binding File.

Parameters: source an InputSource identifying a Castor Binding File.

setCreateMarshalMethods

public void setCreateMarshalMethods(boolean createMarshalMethods)
Sets whether or not to create the XML marshalling framework specific methods (marshall, unmarshall, validate) in the generated classes. By default, these methods are generated.

Parameters: createMarshalMethods a boolean, when true indicates to generated the marshalling framework methods

setDescriptorCreation

public void setDescriptorCreation(boolean createDescriptors)
Sets whether or not to create ClassDescriptors for the generated classes. By default, descriptors are generated.

Parameters: createDescriptors a boolean, when true indicates to generated ClassDescriptors

setDestDir

public void setDestDir(String destDir)
Sets the destination directory.

Parameters: destDir the destination directory.

setGenerateImportedSchemas

public void setGenerateImportedSchemas(boolean generate)
Sets whether or not to generate Java sources for imported XML Schema. By default Java sources for imported XML schemas are not generated.

Parameters: generate true to generate the java classes for the imported XML Schema

setGenerateMappingFile

public void setGenerateMappingFile(boolean generateMapping)
Sets whether or not a mapping file should be generated, this is false by default. Note that this will only be used when generation of descriptors has been disabled.

Parameters: generateMapping a flag that indicates whether or not a mapping file should be generated.

setLineSeparator

public void setLineSeparator(String lineSeparator)
Sets the line separator to use when printing the source code

Parameters: lineSeparator the line separator to use when printing the source code. This method is useful if you are generating source on one platform, but will be compiling the source on a different platform.
Note:This can be any string, so be careful. I recommend either using the default or using one of the following:

   windows systems use: "\r\n"
   unix systems use: "\n"
   mac systems use: "\r"
 

setSAX1

public void setSAX1(boolean sax1)
Set to true if SAX1 should be used in the marshall method

setSuppressNonFatalWarnings

public void setSuppressNonFatalWarnings(boolean suppress)

setTestable

public void setTestable(boolean testable)
Sets whether or not to implement CastorTestable

Parameters: testable a boolean, when true indicates to implement CastorTestable

setVerbose

public void setVerbose(boolean verbose)
Sets whether or not the source code generator prints additional messages during generating source code

Parameters: verbose a boolean, when true indicates to print additional messages

toURIRepresentation

public static String toURIRepresentation(String path)

Returns a string which is the URI of a file.

No validation is done to check wether the file exists or not. This method will be no longer used when the JDK URL.toString() is fixed.

Parameters: path the absolute path of the file.

UNKNOWN: a string representing the URI of the file
