Method Detail

beforeGeneration

boolean beforeGeneration(String outputDirKey,
                         String outputPath,
                         String encoding,
                         UnitConfiguration unitConfiguration)
                  throws GeneratorException

Will be called before the generation is started and decides whether the generation process for this file should proceed.

Parameters:

outputDirKey - the key for the output directory into which the generated file should be written, null for the default output directory.

outputPath - the path to which the output should be written, relative to the output base directory.

encoding - The character encoding of the generated file, or null for the platform default encoding.

unitConfiguration - the configuration of the current configuration unit, not null.

Returns:

true if generation should proceed, false if generation should be aborted.

Throws:

GeneratorException - on an error.

afterGeneration

void afterGeneration(String outputDirKey,
                     String outputPath,
                     String encoding,
                     OutletResult generationResult,
                     UnitConfiguration unitConfiguration)
              throws GeneratorException

Processes the results of the generation.

Parameters:

outputDirKey - the key for the output directory into which the generated file should be written, null for the default output directory.

outputPath - the path to which the output should be written, relative to the output base directory.

encoding - The character encoding of the generated file, or null for the platform default encoding.

generationResult - the result of the generation, not null.

unitConfiguration - the configuration of the current configuration unit, not null.

Throws:

GeneratorException - on an error.

getStrategyName

String getStrategyName()

Returns the name of the existing target strategy.

Returns:

the strategy name, not null, must be different from the names of other strategies.
