  com.google.gwt.core.ext.Generator

Direct Known Subclasses:

IncrementalGenerator

public abstract class Generator
extends java.lang.Object

Generates source code for subclasses during deferred binding requests. Subclasses must be thread-safe.

Resource reading should be done through the ResourceOracle in the provided GeneratorContext (not via ClassLoader.getResource(), File, or URL) so that Generator Resource dependencies can be detected and used to facilitate fast incremental recompiles.

Generator

public Generator()

escape

public static java.lang.String escape(java.lang.String unescaped)

Escapes string content to be a valid string literal.

Returns:

an escaped version of unescaped, suitable for being enclosed in double quotes in Java source

escapeClassName

public static java.lang.String escapeClassName(java.lang.String unescapedString)

Returns an escaped version of a String that is valid as a Java class name.
Illegal characters become "_" + the character integer padded to 5 digits like "_01234". The padding prevents collisions like the following "_" + "123" + "4" = "_" + "1234". The "_" escape character is escaped to "__".

generate

public abstract java.lang.String generate(TreeLogger logger,
                                          GeneratorContext context,
                                          java.lang.String typeName)
                                   throws UnableToCompleteException

Generate a default constructible subclass of the requested type. The generator throws UnableToCompleteException if for any reason it cannot provide a substitute class

Returns:

the name of a subclass to substitute for the requested class, or return null to cause the requested type itself to be used

Throws:

UnableToCompleteException
