Package com.ashridgetech.jamda.code Description

Classes for generating code, principally from UML metamodel elements.

Overall Structure

The classes in this package are designed in layers that build on one another, but which can all be reused independently if required. The most basic level is CodeWriter, which is used by JavaWriter, which is in turn used by ClassWriter to provide all the facilities for writing the code features of a Java class. ClassGenerator uses a ClassWriter to write the features of the Java class with which it is configured. UmlTypeGenerator extends ClassGenerator and configures its class features from a StructuredType in a UML Model. UmlClassGenerator and UmlInterfaceGenerator are specific extensions of UmlTypeGenerator for generating classes and interfaces.

Generating code for methods

MethodCoder and associated classes are used by UmlClassGenerator to create code for the method bodies. The UmlClassGenerator may be configured with MethodCoderFactory objects that generate code for Operations with specific names or Stereotypes. The default is to use an OperationMethodCoder, which generates the code set for the Operation by setProcedure.
