Programmatic generator configuration

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition

Configuring your code generator with Java, Groovy, etc.

In the previous sections, we have covered how to set up jOOQ's code generator using XML, either by running a standalone Java application, or by using Maven. However, it is also possible to use jOOQ's GenerationTool programmatically. The XSD file used for the configuration (http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-3.3.0.xsd) is processed using XJC to produce Java artefacts. The below example uses those artefacts to produce the equivalent configuration of the previous PostgreSQL / Maven example:

// Use the fluent-style API to construct the code generator configuration
import org.jooq.util.jaxb.*;

// [...]

Configuration configuration = new Configuration()
    .withJdbc(new Jdbc()
        .withDriver("org.postgresql.Driver")
        .withUrl("jdbc:postgresql:postgres")
        .withUser("postgres")
        .withPassword("test"))
    .withGenerator(new Generator()
        .withDatabase(new Database()
            .withName("org.jooq.util.postgres.PostgresDatabase")
            .withIncludes(".*")
            .withExcludes("")
            .withInputSchema("public"))
        .withTarget(new Target()
            .withPackageName("org.jooq.util.maven.example")
            .withDirectory("target/generated-sources/jooq")));

GenerationTool.main(configuration);

For the above example, you will need all of jooq-3.3.4.jar, jooq-meta-3.3.4.jar, and jooq-codegen-3.3.4.jar, on your classpath.
