Spring Roo Community Add-Ons

[Chanoch]

Cullie, you might get more response if you

a) publish this in the general forum (this thread is for announcing new add ons).
b) Give people access to your source project folder so they can look at it.

Hi there,

just a quick note to tell you that I just release a "taggable" addon for Roo.

It enable your domain objects to be marked with tags and add the following methods :

void addTag(String tag);
Set<String> getTags();
List<Domain> findAllDomainsWithTag(String tag);

You can check it at https://github.com/lbroudoux/spring-roo-addon-taggable

By the way, is there any documentation explaining how to release an addon using GitHub ?
(just like http://static.springsource.org/sprin...le-addons.html but
using GitHub in place of Google code ?)

Thanks,

The OSGi part of Roo is sometimes difficult to work through. I believe your problem is only solved by creating a Roo wrapper add-on for your commons-io jar, or seeing if commons-io is already OSGi ready (see if the project v. 2.1 contains any OSGi info in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file). That would mean that your project requires another add-on to function properly.

For another take, DBRE add-on requires the shell (i.e. user) to install a JDBC provider JAR, and if your Roo shell really needs commons-io then you have to install it yourself.

Do you really need commons-io? What feature are you using of it? Keep in mind that Roo add-ons should be writing files transactionally using the FileManager bean (for regular files), the ProjectManager (for pom items). For example, to DbreOperationsImpl's use of the FileManager to completely write a file once the XML has been built:

// Write out the updated POM
fileManager.createOrUpdateTextFileIfRequired(pom,
XmlUtils.nodeToString(document), false);



The reason the base Roo add-ons work is that any of the operations that need external libraries have those libraries included in the pom configuration of Roo itself, or generate code and pom.xml elements / dependencies that make it possible for the installed code to run, but don't require a third-party library to do the install itself in the shell add-on. If you follow those rules you should be OK. Otherwise you'll have to provide information in the add-on documentation to inform the user of your third party JAR requirement.

Good morning,

I am working with spring roo version "spring-roo-1.1.5.RELEASE" and version "spring-roo-1.2.2.RELEASE".

We have a problem when we do reverse engeneering in our project, the first time we do it everything is ok,
but after changing the DB, if we make reengineering then *Roo_Configurable aspects of the entities and primary keys are modified with the identifier 'id', for example:

Originally:
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "COD_PERFINV")
private BigDecimal Turhejsd.codPerfinv;

and after we do reverse engineering:
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
@Column(name = "id")
private Long Turhejsd.id;

We think it is a ROO problem so we would like you to give us some tips to solve it
Thank you very much. Best regards.

I am trying to run the following command :
database reverse engineer --package ~.model --schema PUBLIC and I get the following error:
Spring Roo automatic add-on discovery service currently unavailable
JDBC driver not available for 'org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver'
I have a problem here as the solutions I found out online were not working.
Solution: download status
download accept terms of use
I do get a "DOWNLOAD CONSENT GRANTED" when I try to run download status.

What Am I doing wrong. How do I enable the service? Please help.

Try this now. The repository was unavailable and they have restored it. You can install the derby driver in your OSGi shell via this mechanism:

Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried your solution. Please not output from ROO editor as below.
The install was successful. After installation I ran the same command. But am still getting the same error. May be the downloaded addon is not installed properly. Is there a way I can check what are the installed addons ?

I really appreciate your help... .

You have previously accepted the Spring User Agent Analysis (UAA) Terms of Use
as displayed at http://www.springsource.org/uaa/terms_of_use. There is also a
FAQ available at http://www.springsource.org/uaa/faq.

This means that all Spring Roo download functions are enabled. All applicable
add-on discovery and installation commands are fully enabled.

If you'd like to change your mind and revoke your acceptance of the UAA Terms
of Use (and in turn disable Spring Roo features such as add-on support), you
may do so by typing 'download reject terms of use' and pressing ENTER.

If you'd like to keep UAA enabled (and thus all Spring Roo features enabled)
but look at the exact data Spring UAA is sending, please type 'download view'
and press ENTER. You can also fine-tune the level of data that Spring UAA is
sending using the 'download privacy level' command.

Questions on Spring UAA? Please ask us on the Spring Roo Community Forum at
http://forum.springsource.org/forumdisplay.php?f=67. We're happy to help.

Hi all,

just wanted to mention, that we created a Roo addon and a Maven plugin to support configuration and deployment of Roo-generated applications on SAP NetWeaver Cloud platform.

More information can be found on the project’s website:

http://sapnwcloudlabs.github.com/nwcloud-roo-addon/

The addon and plugin are available under Apache Licence 2.0.

Have fun exploring!

Cheers,
Michael

Hello everybody,

We want to announce the first release of the addon for connecting to SAP Gateway systems.
The addon can be found here: http://sapnwcloudlabs.github.com/nwcloud-roo-gwaddon/ .

It introduces 4 commands (each with various parameters), which help connect a roo-entity to a gateway-exposed entityset:

gateway setup
gateway define odata_endpoint
gateway entity
gateway field

The addon is provided under Apache 2 License.

Best regards,
Radu
