I recently discovered an eclipse plugin that I've been needing since I started coding. On several occasions I started down the path of writing my own but quickly got lost in the world of eclipse and ran out of time. Out of the box, the fast code plugin generates many types of code/xml, but the part that I really like is its support for custom templates. How to Write Your Own Template Here are the steps that I used to create my own template which generates a spring RowMapper for a JdbcDaoSupport class. Start with exporting templates using menu Fast Code | Templates | Export Templates:

Choosing templates-config.xml (or all) creates a new project in my workspace:

Next, I altered the exported templates-config.xml file and added my own custom template:

getter-setter java 1 false <![CDATA[ private class ${class_name}Mapper implements RowMapper <${class_name}>{ public ${class_name} mapRow(ResultSet rs, int line) throws SQLException { ${class_name} inst = new ${class_name}(); #foreach ($field in ${fields}) #if (${field.type.endsWith("String")}) inst.${field.setter}(rs.getString("")); #else inst.${field.setter}(rs.getInt("")); // type not String, assume int #end #end return inst; } } ]]>

To test the result I import the template back into fast code using menu Fast Code | Templates | Import Templates, then open up a java class that needs the mapper and execute the template using menu Fast Code | Templates | Create New Snippet. Pick my template, class, fields and presto:

private class ContactBeanMapper implements RowMapper { public ContactBean mapRow(ResultSet rs, int line) throws SQLException { ContactBean inst = new ContactBean(); inst.setName(rs.getString("")); inst.setPhone(rs.getString("")); return inst; } }
