Step 3: Code generation
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
In this step, we're going to use jOOQ's command line tools to generate classes that map to the Posts table we just created. More detailed information about how to set up the jOOQ code generator can be found here:
jOOQ manual pages about setting up the code generator
The easiest way to generate a schema is to copy the jOOQ jar files (there should be 3) and the MySQL Connector jar file to a temporary directory. Then, create a guestbook.xml that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-2.5.0.xsd">
<!-- Configure the database connection here -->
<jdbc>
<driver>com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</driver>
<url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/guestbook</url>
<user>root</user>
<password></password>
</jdbc>
<generator>
<!-- The default code generator. You can override this one, to generate your own code style
Defaults to org.jooq.util.DefaultGenerator -->
<name>org.jooq.util.DefaultGenerator</name>
<database>
<!-- The database type. The format here is:
org.jooq.util.[database].[database]Database
Note the classes have been moved to org.jooq.codegen or org.jooq.meta in jOOQ 3.11 -->
<name>org.jooq.util.mysql.MySQLDatabase</name>
<!-- The database schema (or in the absence of schema support, in your RDBMS this
can be the owner, user, database name) to be generated -->
<inputSchema>guestbook</inputSchema>
<!-- All elements that are generated from your schema (several Java regular expressions, separated by comma)
Watch out for case-sensitivity. Depending on your database, this might be important! -->
<includes>.*</includes>
<!-- All elements that are excluded from your schema (several Java regular expressions, separated by comma).
Excludes match before includes -->
<excludes></excludes>
</database>
<target>
<!-- The destination package of your generated classes (within the destination directory) -->
<packageName>test.generated</packageName>
<!-- The destination directory of your generated classes. Using Maven directory layout here -->
<directory>C:/workspace/MySQLTest/src/main/java</directory>
</target>
</generator>
</configuration>
Replace the username with whatever user has the appropriate privileges to query the database meta data. You'll also want to look at the other values and replace as necessary. Here are the two interesting properties:
generator.target.package - set this to the parent package you want to create for the generated classes. The setting of test.generated will cause the test.generated.Posts and test.generated.PostsRecord to be created
generator.target.directory - the directory to output to.
Once you have the JAR files and library.xml in your temp directory, type this on a Windows machine:
java -classpath jooq-2.6.4.jar;jooq-meta-2.6.4.jar;jooq-codegen-2.6.4.jar;mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar;. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /library.xml
... or type this on a UNIX / Linux / Mac system (colons instead of semi-colons):
java -classpath jooq-2.6.4.jar:jooq-meta-2.6.4.jar:jooq-codegen-2.6.4.jar:mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /library.xml
There are two things to note:
- The prefix slash before the /library.xml. Even though it's in our working directory, we need to prepend a slash, as the configuration file is loaded from the classpath.
- The "trailing" period in the classpath: .. We need this because we want the current directory on the classpath in order to find the above /library.xml file at the root of your classpath.
Replace the filenames with your actual filenames. In this example, jOOQ 2.6.4 is being used. If everything has worked, you should see this in your console output:
