Class CodegenAttributeConstants

java.lang.Object
com.metaobjects.generator.constraint.CodegenAttributeConstants
public final class CodegenAttributeConstants extends Object
Code generation attribute constants for template-based code generation.

This class defines attribute names specific to code generation, template engines, and build-time code generation tools. These attributes are used for:

  • JPA Generation Control - Controlling JPA entity generation
  • Template Processing - Template-specific behavior markers
  • Field Behavior - Code generation behavioral attributes
  • Build-Time Generation - Maven plugin and build tool attributes

Architectural Note: Database-related attributes (dbTable, dbColumn, etc.) are defined in

invalid reference 
com.metaobjects.database.common.DatabaseAttributeConstants
to avoid duplication between OMDB and code generation modules.

Since:
5.2.0
