Overwrite Protection

HydraExpress Components : Web Service Development Guide : PART V HydraExpress Reference : The HydraExpress Code Generator : Overwrite Protection

Many generated files are overwrite protected, meaning that if you regenerate code in the same directory as existing code, the generator will not overwrite them. It does this by appending a “.sample” to any new generated files of the same name.

For example, if HydraExpress sees a file named MyServiceImp.cpp, it will not overwrite the file but will instead generate a file called MyServiceImp.cpp.sample.

The files that are overwrite protected are those that are the most likely to be edited, and include the following:

Table 14 – Overwrite Protected Files
File	Overwrite protected name
MySchema_main.cpp	MySchema_main.cpp.sample
MyServiceClient.cpp	MyServiceClient.cpp.sample
MyServiceImp.h MyServiceImp.cpp	MyServiceImp.h.sample MyServiceImp.cpp.sample
transports.xml	transports.xml.sample
client-transports.xml	client-transports.sample
<servicecontextname>_handlers.xml	<servicecontextname>_handlers.xml.sample
client-handlers.xml	client-handlers.xml.sample
<servicecontextname>_objects.xml	objects.xml.sample
client-objects.xml	client-objects.xml.sample
makefile makefile_debug	makefile.sample makefile_debug.sample
makefile.include	makefile.include.sample
MSVC projects and solutions:
MySchema.dsp MySchema_main.dsp MySchema.dsw MySchema.vcproj MySchema_main.vcproj MySchema.sln	MySchema.dsp.sample MySchema_main.dsp.sample MySchema.dsw.sample MySchema.vcproj.sample MySchema_main.vcproj.sample MySchema.sln.sample

NOTE: 	Be aware that, each time the generator runs, it overwrites all files with the .sample extension. If you make changes to these files, be sure you rename them before rerunning the generator in order to preserve your changes.
