Method Detail

newInstance

public static AndroMDA newInstance()

Gets a new instance of AndroMDA.

Returns:

the new instance of AndroMDA.

run

public void run(URL configurationUri)

Runs AndroMDA with the given configuration.

Parameters:

configurationUri - the URI to the configuration file that configures AndroMDA.

run

public void run(InputStream configurationStream)

Runs AndroMDA with the given configuration.

Parameters:

configurationStream - the InputStream that contains the configuration contents for configuring AndroMDA.

run

public void run(String configuration)

Runs AndroMDA with the given configuration.

Parameters:

configuration - the String that contains the configuration contents for configuring AndroMDA.

initialize

public void initialize(Configuration configuration)

Initializes AndroMDA without running the engine.

Parameters:

configuration - the configuration from which to initialize AndroMDA

initialize

public void initialize(InputStream configurationStream)

Initializes AndroMDA without running the engine.

Parameters:

configurationStream - the InputStream that contains the configuration contents for configuring AndroMDA.

initialize

public void initialize(String configuration)

Initializes AndroMDA without running the engine.

Parameters:

configuration - the String that contains the configuration contents for configuring AndroMDA.

initialize

public void initialize(URL configurationUri)

Initializes AndroMDA without running the engine.

Parameters:

configurationUri - the URI to the configuration file that configures AndroMDA.

run

public ModelValidationMessage[] run(Configuration configuration,
                           boolean lastModifiedCheck,
                           String historyDir)

Runs AndroMDA with the given configuration. Determines whether or not AndroMDA should be run in client/server mode (if the client can contact the AndroMDA server), or just stand-alone mode if the server can NOT be contacted.

Parameters:

configuration - the configuration instance that configures AndroMDA.

lastModifiedCheck - true=don't regenerate code if no changes made since last model update.

historyDir - Output location for model generation history file (i.e. /target/history)

Returns:

an array of model validation messages (if there have been any collected during AndroMDA execution).

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Shuts down AndroMDA.
