Class WadlGeneratorConfig

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.jersey.api.wadl.config.WadlGeneratorConfig

public abstract class WadlGeneratorConfig
extends java.lang.Object

Provides a configured WadlGenerator with all decorations (the default wadl generator decorated by other generators).

Creating a WadlGeneratorConfig

If you want to create an instance at runtime you can configure the WadlGenerator class and property names/values. A new instance of the Generator is created for each generation action. The first option would look like this:

WadlGeneratorConfig config = WadlGeneratorConfig
          .generator( MyWadlGenerator.class )
            .prop( "someProperty", "someValue" )
          .generator( MyWadlGenerator2.class )
            .prop( "someProperty", "someValue" )
            .prop( "anotherProperty", "anotherValue" )
          .build();
 

class MyWadlGeneratorConfig extends WadlGeneratorConfig {

        public List configure() {
            return generator( MyWadlGenerator.class )
                .prop( "foo", propValue )
              .generator( MyWadlGenerator2.class )
                .prop( "bar", propValue2 )
              .descriptions();
        }

    }
 

Configuring the WadlGenerator

The WadlGenerator properties will be populated with the provided properties like this:

• The types match exactly:
  if the WadlGenerator property is of type org.example.Foo and the provided property value is of type org.example.Foo
• Types that provide a constructor for the provided type (mostly java.lang.String)
• java.io.InputStream: The InputStream can e.g. represent a file. The stream is loaded from the property value (provided by the WadlGeneratorDescription) via ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String). It will be closed after WadlGenerator.init() was called.
• Deprected, will be removed in future versions:
  The WadlGenerator property is of type File and the provided property value is a String:
  the provided property value can contain the prefix classpath: to denote, that the path to the file is relative to the classpath. In this case, the property value is stripped by the prefix classpath: and the File is created via

  new File( generator.getClass().getResource( strippedFilename ).toURI() )

  Notice that the filename is loaded from the classpath in this case, e.g. classpath:test.xml refers to a file in the package of the class (WadlGeneratorDescription.getGeneratorClass()). The file reference classpath:/test.xml refers to a file that is in the root of the classpath.

Existing WadlGenerator implementations:

• WadlGeneratorApplicationDoc
• WadlGeneratorGrammarsSupport
• WadlGeneratorJAXBGrammarGenerator
• WadlGeneratorResourceDocSupport

A common example for a WadlGeneratorConfig would be this:

class MyWadlGeneratorConfig extends WadlGeneratorConfig {

        public List configure() {
            return generator( WadlGeneratorApplicationDoc.class ) 
                .prop( "applicationDocsStream", "application-doc.xml" ) 
              .generator( WadlGeneratorGrammarsSupport.class ) 
                .prop( "grammarsStream", "application-grammars.xml" ) 
              .generator( WadlGeneratorResourceDocSupport.class ) 
                .prop( "resourceDocStream", "resourcedoc.xml" ) 
              .descriptions();
        }

    }

WadlGeneratorConfig

public WadlGeneratorConfig()

configure

public abstract java.util.List<WadlGeneratorDescription> configure()

createWadlGenerator

public WadlGenerator createWadlGenerator()

Create a new instance of WadlGenerator, based on the WadlGeneratorDescriptions provided by configure().

Returns:

the initialized WadlGenerator

generator

public static WadlGeneratorConfig.WadlGeneratorConfigDescriptionBuilder generator(java.lang.Class<? extends WadlGenerator> generatorClass)

Start to build an instance of WadlGeneratorConfig:

generator(<class>)
      .prop(<name>, <value>)
      .prop(<name>, <value>)
 .generator(<class>)
      .prop(<name>, <value>)
      .prop(<name>, <value>)
      .build()

Parameters:

generatorClass - the class of the wadl generator to configure

Returns:

an instance of WadlGeneratorConfig.WadlGeneratorConfigDescriptionBuilder.
