Create *.java file dynamicaly

[sunil.natikar]

Hi all,

I am writing a code which is generating .java and .xml files dyanamically.

For xml files I am using javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory .

My xml files are generating correctly but I have some queries regarding genrerating .java files.

I want to create a java file which will have some methods and variables.

Is there any way to do this?

Is there any java classes or libraries to do this?

I want to create a java file which will have some methods and variables.

A .java file contains text written in Java syntax. You can write a .java file with any class that writes Strings.

Are you asking if there is a Java statement generator engine? The only one I know of is the one in front of the keyboard.

I've used Sun's Codemodel API to generate Java source from an XML specification. It seems to have been abandoned when Oracle acquired Sun, and it's not very well documented, but it's worked well for me.

CodeModel — Java.net
Codemodel 2.4 API

Here's an example of how I used it. Note that although I defined the classes, methods, and fields the "right" way, when it came to generating the method bodies, I mostly cheated and used JBlock.directStatement(...).
