<h1>Extension Points</h1>
<p>This section shows where in the plug-in the extension points are
used to extend the functionality and thereby also function as a
reference.</p>
<ul>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.java.generator: The classes <a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/generator/jettemplate/InitializableDbBeanGenerator.html">InitializableDbBeanGenerator</a>,
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/generator/ast/PureASTOracleDAOGenerator.html">PureASTOracleDAOGenerator</a>,
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/generator/ast/ASTBeanWithDelete.html">ASTBeanWithDelete</a>
and <a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/generator/ast/JETASTGenerator.html">JETASTGenerator</a>
are extensions. The sources can be viewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
The definition of the extension is as follows:<pre> <extension point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.generator">
<generator
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.generator.jettemplate.InitializableDbBeanGenerator">
</generator>
<generator
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.generator.ast.PureASTOracleDAOGenerator">
</generator>
<generator
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.generator.ast.ASTBeanWithDelete">
</generator>
<generator
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.generator.ast.JETASTGenerator">
</generator>
</extension>
</pre></li>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputdbconnection: The
class <a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/input/db/MySQLConnectionModelGenerator.html">MySQLConnectionModelGenerator</a>
implements this extension point. The source code can be viewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
The definition of the extension is as follows:<pre> <extension point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputdbconnection">
<dbconnection
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.input.db.MySQLConnectionModelGenerator"
dbproduct="MySQL">
</dbconnection>
</extension>
</pre></li>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputdbparser: The class <a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/input/OracleSQLCreateScriptInputParser.html">OracleSQLCreateScriptInputParser</a>
is the extension. The source code can be reviewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
The definition of the extension is as follows: <pre> <extension point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputdbparser">
<dbproduct name="oracle"
parserClass="ch.sahits.codegen.java.input.OracleSQLCreateScriptInputParser">
</dbproduct>
</extension>
</pre></li>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputparser: The class
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/gui/input/XHTMLModelParser.html">XHTMLModelParser</a>
implements this extension. The source can be viewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
The definition of the extension is as follows:<pre>
<extension
point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputparser">
<inputParser
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.gui.input.XHTMLModelParser">
</inputParser>
</extension>
</pre>
The class
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/input/CSVInputFileParser.html">CSVInputFileParser</a> is another implementation of this extension. Through this extension *.csv files can be parsed
into a DataBaseTable model. The source can be viewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
the definition of the extension is as follows:<pre>
<extension
point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.inputparser">
<inputParser
class="ch.sahits.codegen.java.input.CSVInputFileParser">
</inputParser>
</extension>
</pre>
</li>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.java.jettemplate: The
dbbean.javajet Java Emitter template is realised through this extension
point. The definition of the extension is as follows:<pre> <extension point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.jettemplate">
<template location="jet_templates" name="dbbean.javajet">
</template>
</extension>
</pre>
The daoInsertUnique.javajet Java Emitter template is a further example. It can generate a DAO class based on a Database Table model
with a unique load method if a unique key is defined<br/>
The loginServiceInterface.javajet is a very specialized Java Emitter template that generates an interface
that is based on a database table of a user definition.<br/>
The dbbeanConverter.javajet is a Java Emitter template that takes a database table model and generates a
bean class of it, just like dbBean.javajet. Additionaly there is a constrouctor that takes the first
interface the resultig class implements as an argument for its constructor and makes a copy of said interface for
this instance.
</li>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.inputxmlparser: The class
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/xml/XMLParserWithoutDB.html">XMLParserWithoutDB</a>
is an example implementation for an input XML file parser. Another example ist the class
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/input/XMLTableParser.html">XMLTableParser</a>
Before an XML parser can be defined
in an XML file it must be registered through this parser. The source can be viewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
The definition of the extension is as follows:<pre>
<extension
point="ch.sahits.codegen.inputxmlparser">
<xmlparser
class="ch.sahits.codegen.xml.XMLParserWithoutDB">
</xmlparser>
</extension>
</pre>
</li>
<li>ch.sahits.codegen.java.connectionpage: Define the way how the database connection
data are retrieved. There are two implemented extensions. The default implementation for
the connection data <a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/internal/wizards/DBDefinitionPage.html">DBDefinitionPage</a>
and the alternative through the datatools project
<a href="../reference/doc/ch/sahits/codegen/java/internal/wizards/DTPConnectionDefinitionPage.html">DTPConnectionDefinitionPage</a>.
The source can be viewed at <a href="http://codegenjava.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/codegenjava/trunk">Sourceforge.net</a>.
The definition of the extension is as follows:<pre>
<extension
point="ch.sahits.codegen.java.connectionpage">
<dbDefinition
btnText="DB with connection"
btnTooltip="Create the class DB relations gathered from the connection"
className="ch.sahits.codegen.java.internal.wizards.DBDefinitionPage"
pageTitle="Java Code Generator">
</dbDefinition>
</extension>
</pre></li>
<li class="list">ch.sahits.codegen.generator: You define either a JETemplate location and file extension
of the resulting file or a generator class with the class name and file extension.
<pre>
<extension point="ch.sahits.codegen.generator">
<jetemplate fileextension="sql"
location="jet_templates/selectSQL.sqljet">
</jetemplate>
</extension>
<extension point="ch.sahits.codegen.generator">
<generatorClass fileextension="xml"
class="ch.sahits.codegen.generator.HibernateConfigurationCreator">
</generatorClass>
</extension>
</pre>
</li>
<li class="list">ch.sahits.codegen.sql.manipulation: You can define a manipulation class for
your data that is read from database A. The manipulation takes place before the insert script is
generated.
<pre> <extension
point="ch.sahits.codegen.sql.manipulation">
<manipulationClass
class="ch.sahits.codegen.example.CountryChanger">
</manipulationClass>
</extension>
</pre>
</li>
</ul>
