***** Batch Code Generation *****

The following file provides a brief description of the steps involved in
performing batch code generation.  Please contact support@thinkui.com if you
have any questions or comments.


***** SETUP *****

Please download and install the ThinkUI SQL Client software (version 1.0.8 or later).
Follow the instructions in the README.TXT and check that you are able to
access your database.


***** STEPS *****

To perform batch code generation, please follow the following steps:

1. Define the classpath in Ant.
e.g.
<path id="classpath.run">
    <path path="${java.class.path}"/>
    <path location="../thinkui_sqlclient.jar"/>
    <path location="../lib/apache-derby-10.2.1.6.jar"/>
    <path location="../lib/velocity-dep-1.4.jar"/>
    <path location="thinkui_sqlclient_ant.jar"/>
</path>

2. Define the custom SQL Client Generate Ant task to generate code.
e.g.
<target name="generate.init" description="Define the ThinkUI SQLClient GenerateTask">
    <taskdef name="codegen" classname="thinkui.sqlclient.ant.GenerateTask">
        <classpath refid="classpath.run"/>
    </taskdef>
</target>

3. Invoke the "codegen" task for a given code generation command.
e.g.
<codegen command="thinkui.sqlclient.commands.GenerateJavaBeanCodeCommand" saveToFile="true" overwriteFile="true">
    <param name="db_connection_name" value="${db.connection.name}"/>
    <param name="table_name" value="${db.table.name}"/>
</codegen>

Tip: The connection name is the name of the connection defined in the SQL Client GUI.  Alternatively,
the <connection> tag can be used to specify the DB connection.

<connection>
    <param name="name" value="${db.connection.name}"/>
    <param name="object_mgr_class_name" value="thinkui.db.cloudscape.CloudscapeJDBCDataObjectManager"/>
    <param name="jdbc_driver_class_name" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"/>
    <param name="url" value="jdbc:derby:${datagen.installed.dir}\output\outputDB"/>
    <param name="user_name" value="user_name"/>
    <param name="password" value="password"/>
    <param name="auto_commit" value="false"/>
    <param name="read_only" value="false"/>
</connection>

Note: Please refer the README.TXT file in the "batch" folder for additional details.
      The "batch" folder also contains several sample Ant build files.
