Chapter 9. XDoclet
Introduction
XDoclet,
available
from
http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net,
is an open source tool that extends the Javadoc Doclet
API, allowing for the creation of files based on Javadoc
@ tags and template files
(.xdt).
Tip
This chapter uses XDoclet Version 1.2 beta 1, which can be found at http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net/1.2beta/index.html. Be sure to check their web site for updated XDoclet releases.
XDoclet provides direct support for generating many different types
of files. The most popular use of XDoclet is to generate
EJB files
such as deployment descriptors, remote and home interfaces, and even
vendor-specific deployment descriptors. If XDoclet does not provide
what you need, you may define your own @ tags and
template files. For ultimate flexibility, new Ant XDoclet tasks and
new XDoclet tag handlers may be created, allowing for practically any
kind of content.
One of the main goals of XDoclet is providing an active
code-generation system through Ant. This means that XDoclet works
directly with your Ant buildfile to generate the necessary files your
project needs. For example, let’s say you are
working on an EJB called CustomerBean. Normally, you would have to write a minimum of four files: the bean implementation, remote interface, home interface, and the deployment descriptor. If a new public method is introduced, all four files must be kept in sync or the deployment of the bean fails. With XDoclet you simply write the bean implementation class and mark it up ...
