Strategy/State Generator Features

There are some features to mention with the Strategy/State Generator:

1. Way of strategy integration

   • The generated code can have one of two ways of integration you can choose from:
     • SINGLETON_BY_PATTERN: Converter classes are generated following the Singleton Pattern.
     • SINGLETON_BY_SPRING_DI_ON_ANNOTATION: Converter classes are generated using Spring Dependency Injection with annotations @Component and @Autowired

2. Generation of test classes

   • For each strategy a test class can be generated depending on the TestingFramework you choose.
     • TESTNG_6_8: TestNG version 6.8
     • JUNIT_4: JUnit version 4
     • NONE: No test classes are created

3. Queryable result object

   • Each generation method returns a result object. The result object contains information which classes are created and which not (due to already existing files or program error).

4. Executable class with main method:

   • Class ExecuteGenerator provides a main method to call the Strategy/State Generator. It can be called in three ways:
     1. Pass properties file paths as arguments:
        • args[0] (mandatory): File path of the properties file containing the data for the Global Properties.
        • args[1..n] (mandatory): File path of a properties file containing data for the Generation Properties
     2. Pass directory path containing properties files:
        • args[0]: File path of the directory containing the properties files
        • At least one properties file with name Global.properties containing the Global Properties is mandatory.
        • Please note, that no subdirectories are traversed to find properties files.
        • All other properties files are interpreted as Generation Propertied.
     3. Pass properties classpath files as arguments:
        • args[0] (mandatory): Resource classpath of the properties file containing the data for the Global Properties.
        • args[1..n] (mandatory): Resource classpath of a properties file containing data for the Generation Properties

5. The NullStrategy generation can be disabled as property disableNullStrategy in class GeneratorIn.

6. You can disable the generation of the business name as part of the class name by using property disableConditionNameInClassName in class GeneratorIn.
