Class MetadataBuilder

  MetadataBuilder

public class MetadataBuilder

extends Object

MetadataBuilder creates the metadata which controls the persistence framework as well as the schema for the client database. Metadata is created for each class listed in the input file and written to the output file along with a schema. The command line syntax is as follows.

TOOLS=com.xavax.xstore.tools
java ${TOOLS}.MetadataBuilder inputFilename outputFilename

The input file contains a list of class and data source specifications. The format of each data source specification is as follows.

database [name] [MSS|MySQL|Oracle] [jndi-url]

The format of each class specification is as follows. The interface and class names are unqualified.

packageName interfaceName implementationName proxyName

Both the metadata and schema are written to the output file. The database name defaults to "test1". A future version of this tool will support creating multiple databases.

MetadataBuilder uses reflection to determine the fields in each class; therefore, it is necessary for all classes listed in the input file to be in the class path when MetadataBuilder executes.
