javaMetaprogramming

This project allows the validation of an XSD Schema against it's generated Java-POJOs. The way this prorgram works is as follows:

1. Parse the XSD-File using DOM and store the structure in a Hashmap
2. Parse Java-POJOs using JavaParser and store the structure in a Hashmap
3. Compare both resulting Hashmaps

Setup

Prerequisites

• Java SDK 8+ (with Java SDK binaries in the PATH or JAVA_HOME set up)
• Gradle

How to Build

• Go to the javaMetaprogramming folder

$ cd javaMetaprogramming

• If Gradle isn't installed, run the following command

$ ./gradlew

• Command for building the project:

$ ./gradlew build

• Command for preparing the project for Eclipse

$ ./gradlew eclipse

How to setup your own tests

• Put your .XSD-File(s) into the inputs Folder

$ /javaMetaprogramming/inputs/

• Modify or copy a gradle task in the build.gradle file

task xjc(type: Exec) {
    commandLine 'xjc'
    args = ['inputs/Company.xsd', '-d', 'src/main/java', '-p' , 'org.softlang.metaprogramming.dm.company']
    doFirst {
        mkdir 'src/main/java/org/softlang/metaprogramming/dm/company'
    }
}

• Build the project again

$ ./gradlew build

• Test your Schema by supplying the path to your Java data model

String yourTest ="src/main/java/org/softlang/metaprogramming/dm/yourDataModel/";

• Parse the data model into a Hashmap

Map<String, HashMap<String, String>> yourTestMap = 
					JCParser.parseJC(JCParser.initJC(yourTest));

• Provide the path to your XSD Schema File

Node yourXSD = XSDParser.initXSD("inputs/yourSchema.xsd");

• Parse your Schema into a Hashmap

Map<String, Map<String, String>> yourTestMapX =XSDParser.parseXSD(yourXSD);

• Compare

assertTrue(yourTestMap.equals(yourTestMapX));
