Invoking the Generator with an XML Schema
Given the command
<prompt> rwsfgen -projectname MyProject MySchema.xsd
the generator creates a project titled MyProject based on the schema MySchema.xsd and places it into a directory MyProject.
NOTE: HydraExpress supports only file paths without spaces, so when naming your project, do not include spaces, since HydraExpress uses the project name as a basis for the name of the code generation directory.
Architecture of the Generated Classes illustrates the architecture of the generated classes.
Generated Files describes the generated output.
The generator creates a log file rwsfgen.log, located in the directory where the generator was invoked, listing all generated files. If you run the command again, HydraExpress regenerates only those files that need to be updated due to changes in the schema or generation options.
NOTE: Be sure to back up any changes to the generated source code, such as added business logic, in a location outside the code generation directory. The files within the directory may be overwritten and changes lost, the next time code is generated.
HydraExpress creates several subdirectories containing the generated files, as well as a project file reflecting the various options used when generating the project. For more detail on the project file and the code generation directory, see
Chapter 21, The Project File and Directory Structure.
