Automating C# Exposure Generation and Extraction

You can use the jadclient non-GUI client application to automate the generation and extraction of an existing C# exposure, passing command line arguments after the startAppParameters parameter to specify your generate and extract requirements. For details about:

• The jadclient non-GUI client application, see "Running a Non-GUI Client Application using jadclient", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Runtime Application Guide.

  "Running a Non-GUI Client Application using jadclient" also covers using the ExtractAllExposures application from the jadclient command prompt to generate C# code for all classes in a schema.

• Generating an exposure using the C# Exposure wizard in the JADE development environment, see "Generating the C# Classes", earlier in this chapter.

• Extracting a C# exposure from the JADE development environment, see "Extracting a C# Exposure", earlier in this chapter.

To generate and extract an existing C# exposure as a non-GUI application, specify the following parameters in the jadclient program command line. The parameters following startAppParameters must be specified in the following order. (Parameters within brackets ([]) are optional.)

jadclient schema=JadeSchema 
          app=CSharpGenerator 
          path=database-path 
          ini=JADE-initialization-file-path-and name
          startAppParameters
          schemaName=top‑most‑schema‑in‑which‑classes‑defined
          exposureName=existing‑exposure‑name
          outputFolderName=absolute‑path‑and‑name‑of‑output‑directory 
         [shouldGenerateProjFile=true] 
         [shouldGenerateAppConfigFile=true 
          dataSourceConfigParam=absolute‑path‑of‑the‑database‑control‑file 
          configFileConfigParam=name‑and‑path‑of‑JADE‑initialization‑file 
          singleUserConfigParam=true|false 
          schemaConfigParam=name‑of‑user‑defined‑schema‑in‑the‑database
         [applicationConfigParam=an‑application‑defined‑in‑schemaName‑parameter]]

The parameters that you can specify after the startAppParameters parameter are listed in the following table in the order in which they must be specified.

The following is an example of the jadclient command line that generates and extracts a C# exposure.

jadclient schema=JadeSchema app=CSharpGenerator path=c:\jade\system ini=c:\jade\system\jade.ini startAppParameters schemaName=ErewhonInvestmentsModelSchema exposureName=DocCsharpExample outputFolderName=c:\jade\csharp shouldGenerateProjFile=true shouldGenerateAppConfigFile=true dataSourceConfigParam=c:\jade\system configFileConfigParam=c:\jade\system\jade.ini singleUserConfigParam=false schemaConfigParam=DocCsharpDemoSchema applicationConfigParam=CsharpConnectionApp

When specifying C# generate and extract parameters:

• Enclose command line arguments that contain spaces in double ("") or single ('') quotation marks.

• The jadclient program treats processing arguments enclosed in double ("") or single ('') quotation marks after the startAppParameters parameter as single-string entries in the huge string array. The handling of strings in this huge string array is application-specific. For example, path= "program files" is treated as a two-string entry and "path= program files" is treated as a one-string entry. How these entries are handled is determined by your application.

• The parameters are case-sensitive (that is, multiple is a valid argument but Multiple is not).
