Term: CodeGenerator

The InfoGrid CodeGenerator interprets InfoGrid Models, checks them for correctness, and generates code from them.

It can generate:

• ModelModuleAdvertisements for the Module Framework. This enables applications to discover the available Models at run-time,
• XML files containing the Models (essentially the same as the input files). Used for normalization of the Model XML.
• ModelLoader classes that instantiate the Model when run. This is a faster way of instantiating the Models at run-time as it requires no XML parsing.
• Java interfaces and classes, inheriting from TypedMeshObjectFacade, that implement a type-safe facade of MeshObject for any given EntityType. This enables developers to use a Java interface Customer, for example, for MeshObjects blessed with a Customer type, instead of the generic MeshObject interface.
