Class ModelBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.milyn.javabean.dynamic.ModelBuilder

public class ModelBuilder
extends Object

Dynamic Model Builder.

Useful for constructing configuration model etc. Allows you to build a config model for a dynamic configuration namespace i.e. a config namespace that is evolving and being extended all the time. New namespaces can be easily added or extended. All that's required is to define the new config XSD and the Smooks Java Binding config to bind the data in the config namespace into the target Java model.

The namespaces all need to be configured in a "descriptor" .properties file located on the classpath. Here's an example:

 mycomp.namespace=http://www.acme.com/xsd/mycomp.xsd
 mycomp.schemaLocation=/META-INF/xsd/mycomp.xsd
 mycomp.bindingConfigLocation=/META-INF/xsd/mycomp-binding.xml
 

You should use a unique descriptor path for a given configuration model. Of course there can be many instances of this file on the classpath i.e. one per module/jar. This allows you to easily add extensions and updates to your configuration model, without having to define new Java model for the new namespaces (versions) etc.
