<h1>General Code Generation Features</h1>

<h2>Supported databases</h2>

<p>Every database that is part of the datatools project can be used. All you have to do is

register the database. On how to do that please refere to the 

<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Getting_Started_with_DTP">wiki</a> of the project. If you

don't use DTP or run on eclipse prior to Ganymed the selection of available databases is limited to

MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle.

</p>

<h2>Input data</h2>

<p>Since the code generation is based on some kind of model this model must be generated from some kind

of input. One such kind is a database table. The input data can be gained through datatools connection,

direct connection to the database or the create script of the table.<p>

<p>Another obvious input format are XML files. Since an XML file can hold praticularly hold any data an

interpreter for this data must be defined. An XHTML file is a subclass of XML and well defined. Therefore

an XHTML form can be used as an input as well, though not all Elements are supported.</p>

<p>The input methods are very flexible and highly extensible. For further information see the Extension point

reference section.</p>

<h2>Code Generation</h2>

<p>The code generation happens through a generator that can be selected from all generators registered with

the extension point ch.sahits.codegen.generator. The generator may be a JETemplate or a generator class that

implements the interface <a href="doc/ch/sahits/codegen/generator/IGeneralGenerator.html">IGeneralGenerator</a>

through on of its sub interfaces.
