2.6. T05 Foreach Object

In this tutorial we will create a class for each object in the model.

  • Open in directory metafactory-workshop-metafactory\src\model the file called model.xml and add the highlighted content:

Eye S You can open model.xml directly from the MetaFactory Project window by double clicking it.

Listing 2.11 src/model/model.xml
 1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  • Open in directory metafactory-workshop-metafactory\src\patterns\package\feature1 the file called pattern1.xml and adapt line 7 so it has the highlighted content:

Listing 2.12 src/patterns/feature1/pattern1.xml
 1<package xmlns="http://www.firstbase.nl/xsd/personaliom/pattern"
 2         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 3         xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.firstbase.nl/xsd/personaliom/pattern http://www.firstbase.nl/xsd/personaliom/pattern.xsd"
 4         name="com.company.workshop"
 5         path="src/main/java"
 6         package="domain">
 7  <class name="${object.name}" foreach="object">
 8    <operation name="constructor">
 9      <body>${fmsnippet.feature1.constructor}</body>
10    </operation>
11  </class>
12</package>

Now:

  • Click on metafactory-workshop-metafactory in the MetaFactory Project window.

  • Click on the Play button to run the MetaFactory tool.

Once finished the MetaFactory Tool will have generated a class for each object in the model

  • Open the directory metafactory-workshop-backend\src\main\java\com\company\workshop to see the result.
