Annotation Type GenProxy

@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=SOURCE)
@Inherited
public @interface GenProxy

Annotation to generate EntityProxy and ValueProxy classes.

Simply annotate your entity with GenProxy and gwt-platform will generate you a ProxyFor interface. The generated interface equals the given examples on DevGuideRequestFactory.

Generate

Fields as proxy:
You can declare fields as proxy using UseProxy or @UseProxyName.

If you type:

 
 @GenProxy
 public class Person {
   @UseProxyName("com.gwtplatform.dispatch.annotation.AddressProxy")
   Address address;
   @UseProxy(DetailProxy.class)
   Detail detail;
 }
 
 

gwt-platform will generate the following EntityProxy.

 
 @ProxyFor(com.gwtplatform.dispatch.annotation.Person.class)
 public interface PersonProxy extends EntityProxy {
   EntityProxyId<PersonProxy> stableId();

   com.gwtplatform.dispatch.annotation.AddressProxy getAddress();
   com.gwtplatform.dispatch.annotation.DetailProxy getDetail();

   void setAddress(com.gwtplatform.dispatch.annotation.AddressProxy address);
   void setDetail(com.gwtplatform.dispatch.annotation.DetailProxy detail);
 }
 
 

Using Value Proxies: Set isEmbeddedType() to true.

Note: If your package name contains ".server", the processor automatically replaces this with ".shared". To avoid this behaviour, set the target package manual using targetPackage().

Element Detail

targetPackage

public abstract String targetPackage

Defines the output package.

By default the output is generated to the same source folder.

If you are not using a custom target package, the processor will automatically replace ".server" in your package name with ".shared".

@GenProxy(targetPackage = "com.example.package.server")

Default:

""

filterGetter

public abstract String[] filterGetter

Add a property name to avoid the generation of a getter for this property.

@GenProxy(filterGetter = {"id", "customer"})

The properties "id" and "customer" will have no getters.

Default:

{}

filterSetter

public abstract String[] filterSetter

Add a property name to avoid the generation of a setter for this property.

@GenProxy(filterSetter = {"id", "customer"})

The properties "id" and "customer" will have no setters.

Default:

{}

isEmbeddedType

public abstract boolean isEmbeddedType

An embedded type results in a ValueProxy instead of an EntityProxy. By default, an EntityProxy is generated.

Default:

false

locator

public abstract Class<? extends Locator> locator

Default:
