Java

Java is the target language by default, so you don't have to define it explicitly.

However, you can define it with the following instruction :

#set( $env.language = 'Java' )

The information below shows the behavior of the generator when Java is the current target language. For a detailed description of type conversion, see the generated documentation : https://www.telosys.org/doc/latest/languages/language-java.html

Types conversion

The table below describes how model neutral types are automatically converted to Java types with potential impact due to attribute annotations.

Annotations effects

  • @UnsignedType no effect (all numeric types are signed in Java)

  • @ObjectType switches to the standard wrapper type for the current type (Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean)

  • @PrimitiveType switches to the primitive type if possible (byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean)

  • @NotNull switches to primitive type if possible in order to avoid 'null' value

Specific types

  • $attribute.fullType

    • for an "object type" returns the fully-qualified class name (java.lang.String, java.lang.Integer, java.math.BigDecimal, etc )

    • for a "primitive type" returns the primitive type as is

      ( int, double, etc )

  • $attribute.simpleType

    • for an "object type" returns the simple class name ( String, Integer, Double, etc )

    • for a "primitive type" returns the primitive type as is

      ( int, double, etc )

  • $attribute.wrapperType returns the Java wrapper type class associtated with the current type (Integer, Double, etc )
