Configuration

Location of generated Files

In a Virtual Developer Cloud Connector, every of the following groups of files (so-called virtual projects) can be mapped to a separate Eclipse project or to a directory. By providing more than one virtual project you have the freedom to organize the generated code in the way you want. You might for instance want to put the static metamodel in a separate jar-file.

Groups of Files (Virtual Projects)	Included File Types
JPA Classes	entity classes, embeddable classes, DAOs, entity lifecycle listeners, thread local session data class, data generator class, DAO unit test classes, unit test parent class, entity unit tests, test data generator, test data generator unit test
JPA Resources	orm.xml, persistence.xml
JPA Test Resources	dictionary zip file
metamodel	static metamodel classes

Generator Options

for JPA Classes

Option	Description	Value Range	Default Value
target.uri.prefix	path for Java source code	a valid relative path	src/main/java
target.uri.prefix.for.tests	path for Java source code for testing	a valid relative path	src/test/java
arquillian-tests	generates unit test code that uses the Arquillian framework	true or false	true
dao-pattern	controls whether the DAO methods are static methods or instance methods	static or object	static
default-namespace	nominates the package to be used in case the package cannot be taken from the model	a valid Java package name
generate-daos	DAOs are only generated when this option is set to true	trueor false	true
generate-lifecycle-listeners	lifecycle listeners are only generated when this option is set to true	trueor false	true
persistence-provider	by setting this option you tell the generator for which persistence provider the code should be optimized (generated code might include provider specific annotations)	Hibernate, EclipseLink, OpenJPA (all case insensitive)	Hibernate
single‑persistence‑unit‑name	if this option is set, all modeled entities will become part of one single persistence unit with the given name (otherwise persistence.xml will contain one persistence unit per modeled persistence module)	any string without whitespaces	persistenceunit

for JPA Resources

Option	Description	Value Range	Default Value
target.uri.prefix	path for resource files	a valid relative path	src/main/resources
target.uri.prefix.for.tests	path for resource files for testing	a valid relative path	src/test/resources

for JPA Test Resources

Option	Description	Value Range	Default Value
target.uri.prefix.for.tests	path for resource files for testing	a valid relative path	src/test/resources

for metamodel

Option	Description	Value Range	Default Value
target.uri.prefix	path for Java source code	a valid relative path	src/main/java
