[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-1206) improve i18n in seam-gen

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1206?page=all ] Pierre Raoul updated JBSEAM-1206: --------------------------------- Description: It would be great that seam-gen will generate crud pages and classes for an existing Entity class: - with all the literals replaced with #{messages['key']} - and i18n default messages generated was: It would be great that seam-gen will generate crud pages and classes for an existing Entity class: - with all the literals replaced with #{messages['key']} - and i18n default messages generated Herewith files of a draft version (patches created from seam 1.2.1.GA) I used the jpaconfiguration propositions from JBSEAM-843. It works under Eclipse: the target "updatecrud" in the project build.xml can be run from Eclipse. Nota: to translated Enum type, test of this type had to be added. I did it through file inclusion. So it can be used with any other project specific types, e.g. in the attached zip with joda-time type. Herewith a new patch, seam-gen.patch, to get 18n crud interface from entity classes (see JBSEAM 843). The patch is generated against today cvs. All the new files are in seam-gen.zip The new ant target is "generate-ui". It can be run as often as wished. To get a starting project: - run "seam new-project" - add the entity classes - if wished, add any new language in {project}/resources/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml * add the needed messages in {project}/resources/properties/success_label.xml: they will be used as they are to create messages in "home_messages" files * add the transleted static files in {project}/view/layout * translate "base_entity_messages" and "messages" properties files in {project}/resources - fill the {project}/resources/properties/entity_label.xml. The tree syntaxe is: <entity-names> <entity1name> <en>...</en> <fr>...</fr> ... <entity1property1name> <en>...</en> <fr>...</fr> ... <entity1property1property1-1name> <en>...</en> <fr>...</fr> ... </entity1property1property1-1name> <entity1property1property1-2name> ... </entity1property1name> <entity1property2name> ... </entity1name> <entity2name> ... If any leaf is not filled then the name of the entity/property is used. These labels are used to created the messages in properties files with "generated-ui". - run "seam generate-ui" - that's all. I only tested it from entity pojos and for ear projects in dev mode. I didn't try reverse engeneering from data bases. I used some new materials: - javassist for hibernate tools - fmpp (fmpp.sourceforge.net) to do batch jobs with freemarker fmpp needs bsh.jar, oro.jar and resolver.jar - tomahawk as I need "t:buffer" tag to deal with i18n messages in some tags as s:buttonand rich:simpleTogglePanel (yes I know, it's quite a heavy tool just for that, but it's the only one I found ready to be used...) tomahawk needs commons-fileupload.jar - log4j to avoid some error messages from hibernate during "generated-ui" Two issues: - I didn't find how to avoid putting "hibernate.dialect" in persistence-dev.xml - With the current "seam.bat" under Windows, there is no way to work with the right hibernate annotations and entitymanager libraries. Ant is called with {seam_home}/lib in both "ant.home" and "ant.library.dir". As: * hibernate-all.jar is in {seam_home}/lib, * and HAN and HEM are in hibernate-all.jar, the libraries in {seam_home}/hibernate/lib are never loaded. But the HAN and HEM classes in hibernate-all.jar are too old: version 3.2.0.CR3 or above is needed. As turnaround, I use a new directory {seam_home}/ant/lib with only ant.jar and I put it in "ant.home" and "ant.library.dir" during "generated-ui". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
