[OJB-developers] Ojbgen code generator

[Hoang, H. <Hai...@co...>]

I've some code that read the repository.xml and generate java code for the
following pattern from previous project (ATG) and now I want to port over to
OJB and donate it to the ojb community.

For example, if I have a class descriptor and these are classes will be
generated:

User (interface)
UserImpl (class)
UserManager (interface)
UserManagerImpl (class)

1.  I would like to know, which class parses the repository.xml for
information purposes only (without validation), so I can use the information
in the repository to generate code.

2.  Can we possibly add a
<interface.name>com.xyz.Permission</interface.name> tag to the class
descriptor along with <class.name>com.xyz.PermissionImpl</class.name>?

3.  Can I reuse the metadata package to store the parsed information from
the repository.xml without required runtime classes? for example, if I have
a <class.name>com.xyz.PermissionImpl</class.name> in one of my class
descriptor and the file is not yet genereated, will this causes me problem?

Thank you,

Hai
