Generating code from yaml - more reliable than Swagger codegen? - maven-3

(Sample) Problem:
When a yaml source contains conflicting definitions, e.g. myClass and MyClass both generating into a java class MyClass with one overwriting the other, no warning or error occurs.
Other similar cases can occur the same way (e.g. via implicitly generated classes from complex entries of type: array).
Framing
has to work without modifying the source file
there is exactly one source file, for whatever that's worth
has to work as a Maven plugin
tested with swagger-codegen-maven-plugin 2.4.0 and 2.4.22
am familiar with JAXB2 and both of its common Maven plugins:
jaxb2-maven-plugin
maven-jaxb2-plugin
am not familiar with swagger-codegen-maven-plugin
did not find solutions (or even corresponding problem reports) using Google searches
swagger codegen strict
swagger-codegen-maven-plugin strict
swagger codegen name collision
swagger-codegen-maven-plugin name collision
swagger codegen resolve name collision
swagger-codegen-maven-plugin resolve name collision
found this closed issue describing a similar issue (silently generates corrupt code), which appears to be mostly unrelated and is alledgedly long fixed
Question
What is the proper solution that produces
an eagerly failing generation process
amended via externally configured customBindings
without touching the yaml source file
?
Solution ideas:
Use JAXB2 instead
JAXB2
fails generation where a generated file already exists
allows a separate customBindings.xjs file to modify generation of
classes
can be adapted to work with YAML using
JacksonJaxbYAMLProvider
However it seems that the common Maven plugins jaxb2-maven-plugin and maven-jaxb2-plugin do not support YAMl definition files (out of the box?). [1]
Use Mustache files to resolve the name collision
The Mustache language seems to provide the necessary facilities to implement rules similar to JAXBs xjb.
However
binding a Mustache template to a class has to be done by name (<class name>.mustache), aka. name collision in particular cannot be resolved from an external file [2]
this does not help with the silence of errors in generated code - one cannot fix the error, while unaware of it
1 - Searches for this topic have yielded one result that it does not work out-of-the-box (duh) and no results whether it can be made to work using the extensions interface both plugins support.
2 - I could not find the relevant part directly within Swagger codegen documentation, but here is a relevant part of the implemented-by-Swagger OpenAPI generator documentation.

WSWS3770W: Warning: WSDL2Java does not support http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy ,http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/ binding namespace

My issue began when I generated a web service client (in RAD 9.0.0) from a supplied WSDL. It ran as it was supposed to, but an UnsupportedNamespaceException was generated each time it ran. The namespace it objected to is won't let me post and after searching online I found a replacement in won't let me post. After modifying the WSDL, the UnsupportedNamespaceException was no longer generated; however, every time I publish the application I get "WSWS3770W: Warning: WSDL2Java does not support http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy ,http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/ binding namespace." and a completely new package is generated whose classes contain a multitude of errors. While I was able to find a replacement (above) for the first namespace mentioned, I've been unable to find a replacement for the second one. Any ideas? Thanks!

swagger swagger-codegen-maven-plugin generate Default Api interface

i'm trying to use swagger-codegen-maven-plugin to generate my interface .
after compiling with the plugin - it generates all the files correctly but for some reason
the interface name is DefaultApi.
i looked for some configuration that i can change the name of the interface that been generated but didnt find the solution for that.
any idea on that??
"DefaultApi" is used when there's no tags specified for the endpoint.
For example, this endpoint will be put in a class named "UserApi" since the tags is set to User.
You will need to update the spec to include proper tags for endpoints to avoid using "DefaultApi"
UPDATE: On May 2018, about 50 top contributors and template creators of Swagger Codegen decided to fork Swagger Codegen to maintain a community-driven version called OpenAPI Generator. Please refer to the Q&A for more information.

CRM 2011, ILMerge and localization

I'm having some trouble merging the localization satellite assemblies into the plugin DLL for CRM2011.
Either that, or I don't know how to use the merged resources afterwards.
I create a few plugins and create a basic resource file (default - English) and one for a specific culture (at the time of writing it's for Polish localizations, but later I'll need to add French as well).
I make sure not to sign the assembly itself, as ILMerge will sign the finished assembly itself.
This is the command I use to merge the extra satellite assembly:
ilmerge /targetplatform:v4,C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 /log:log.txt /keyfile:KeyFile.snk /out:Plugins.dll DynamicsCRM2011.Plugins.dll pl-PL\DynamicsCRM2011.Plugins.resources.dll
As you can see, the plugins are in .NET 4.0 and I've got the required .config file for ILMerge to use the required assemblies for merging.
The generated file appears fine, I can register it with CRM plugin-registrator, add new steps and so forth.
However, it will always use the default language. I've tried changing the System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.UICulture, but this didn't help. When I created a ResourceManager class and used GetString("ErrorMessage", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("pl-PL")), I got an Exception that the specified ResourceManager doesn't know what to do with the specified culture.
I know of this question here. However, the posted solution seems to be an old one. The generated resource .cs files do not use a ComponentResourceManager. Also, parts of the code posted there have been marked as deprecated.
I'm not really sure what I'm am to do now, or how to further debug this, as I have very little experience when it comes to working with assemblies themselves. Please, help me get those satellite assemblies under control.
Update:
I've been working with sandbox plugins for a while now, and thus I no longer have access to things such as CurrentCulture (or at least I cannot change such things). I've tried tackling this problem once more: I've created a simple plugin which is fired when a new Account is saved. Nothing fancy. Here's the actual plugin code:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager(typeof(Properties.Resources));
var s = rm.GetString("ErrorAlreadyPosted", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("pl-PL"));
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(s);
The code no longer throws an exception about not being able to find the specified culture... also the code obviously throws an exception at the end, but the important thing is WHAT the exception message is. I'd expect it to be in Polish.
Alas, it is not. The string returned by GetString is still in English.
The command I used for ILmerge is the same as before, but with the /lib parameter specified so that I don't have to copy all the CRM SDK dlls...
Apparently it is not possible to read resources from with the context of a Plugin.
Read up on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh670609.aspx#BKMK_UseXMLWebResourcesAsLanguageResources
Quote: When a plug-in requires localized text, you can use an XML web resource to store the localized strings so the plug-in can access them when needed. The structure of the XML is your option, but you may want to follow the structure used by ASP.NET Resource (.resx) files to create separate XML web resources for each language. For example, the following is an XML web resource named localizedString.en_US that follows the pattern used by .resx files.
This is all I know so far - have yet to build my own solution for localization of a crm plugin.
If you use a reflector tool to look at the generated assembly, do you see your resource(s) embedded correctly? You may be experiencing the bug as outlined in the link you posted.
Try setting Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture and\or Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.
Also try hooking into the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad and\or AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve to debug which assemblies are being attempted to load and from where. You might need to customize their behavior so that instead of loading an external assembly to load an internal resource instead.
You can try embedding project references as resources instead of using ilmerge as well.
See this: http://bartlomiej.net/dotnet/embeded-assembies-into-an-executable/
The way we eventually handled this is by adding the localization XML files (generated by Visual Studio) as CRM resources, and created a bit of custom code which seeks the appropriate resource and then seeks the localization text inside.
It's, obviously, not as simple as just using the generated C# localization class, and requires some prep work. However, with that prep-work in place and with using nameof it's now almost as simple as the aforementioned resource classes.

grails-doc creates copies of my classes in default package

In my grails 1.3.7 project, I have put all of my classes in com.mycompany.myapp, as you do. So this goes for services, controllers, domain classes. I have a filter that goes in its own package. My app works fine.
However, when I run grails doc, grails decides to create two pages for every class:
one in its right comp.mycompany.myapp package that has all the right Groovy Doc
the other takes all the above classes and pretends as if those also live in the default package.
So, target/docs contains two directories: 'DefaultPackage' and 'com', with DefaultPackage holding a copy of everything that lives under com/
Consequently, my groovy doc looks messy because there is two copies for each class.
How can I solve this?
It has been documented as a bug at GRAILS-6605. There is no workaround listed there for the bug.
I too faced the same issue and so created a plugin "Grails Runtime Docs" ( http://grails.org/plugin/grails-runtime-docs ) that solves this issue and generates both Java and groovy docs properly only 1 copy per class. It's grails aware and categorizes the classes into Controllers, Commands, Domains, Services and Tag Libraries. The groovy documentation is actually generated from runtime so as to include the dynamic methods also, adding "Dynamic Method Summary" & "Dynamic Method Detail" in the generated html docs, that provide their source information. Hope you find it useful.

How to configure Struts 2 to find 'action results' from both classpath and WEB-INF?

Background
We have an existing webapp, built with Struts 2 and Freemarker, of which I’ve created a variation by copying some of the code and templates. Kludgy, but manageable. We will however soon be making quite a few other variants (which need to be individual WARs), making copying untenable. My thought is to instead put all the shared stuff into a jar included with each webapp: the common files could be maintained in one place, and even better a given webapp could override files from the classpath. So far I've been able to do this with the code, but the Convention plugin is making it difficult to do the same for the Freemarker templates.
Problem
Thus far our webapp has relied on Convention to find the Freemarker “action results” (i.e. templates) for actions at application start-up, saving us from having to tediously annotate each of them. If I've traced things correctly, the class DefaultResultMapBuilder is responsible for finding the actions results; in particular, the method createFromResources looks in the webapp and then on the classpath for template files matching our actions.
This is exactly what I want – except that we put our templates under /WEB-INF to protect them from outside access (using the struts.convention.result.path constant in our Struts configuration). This has worked fine until now, with ALL template files located under /WEB-INF, but it’s not working with files also on the classpath. DefaultResultMapBuilder can certainly find files on the classpath, but only when webapp templates are under the context root directly, as any classpath templates have to be in a package structure equivalent to the directory structure of templates under the context root. For action results to be found when “struts.convention.result.path" starts with “/WEB-INF/” would require a root package called “web-inf” – but of course hyphens are not allowed in package names.
(Note that this issue is independent of the TemplateLoader classes that are later used to actually grab the template files. The loading process is readily configurable to look in many places – but the app never gets that far if the ‘action results’ are not found at startup. It would be nice if both processes used the same configuration...)
Solutions?
So… I could move all our templates outside of /WEB-INF but really I’d rather not. Or I could provide specific annotations for each action class, and again I’d rather not (and indeed it might suffer from the same issue).
Or I could make my own implementation of ResultMapBuilder by copying and very slightly changing DefaultResultMapBuilder (every member in the latter is private, so I can't extend the class and change just the relevant parts – alas!), and then figure out how to override the "struts-plugin.xml" Struts config file (to change the org.apache.struts2.convention.ResultMapBuilder bean), and thus I could get Convention to ignore "/WEB-INF" when looking on the classpath. Or perhaps better, to always prefix the path with "/WEB-INF/" when looking in the ServletContext.
But maybe there's an easier way? Some undocumented bit of configuration magic?
