Advanced add-on custom data in ITD

[radu19]

Hello,

I am creating an advanced Spring Roo add-on and I need to place inside the created ITD something like:

declare precedence: X, Y;

I have tried to append custom data, using <code>append</code> and something like:

CustomData customData = ((CustomDataBuilder) new CustomDataBuilder().put("name", "declare precedence: X, Y;")).build();

but I get a NullPointerException.

Can anybody help?

Kind regards,
Radu

Hello Radu,

We had a similar problem in gvNIX.

The best solution than we found was create the ITD directly from a text template included in the add-on. The fastest way is use regular expression to replace specific data before return the ITD content.

Hi Chema,

Thanks for the tip.
I was already using such a template, but for different things on a basic add-on... But you're right, it should also work with the ITD.

I am still wondering however if there isn't another possibility (like using the roo-provided methods).

On a different note, great job with the gvNIX add-on! I've checked it out and it is quite impressive I must say.

Best,
Radu
