As it is not a core feature of an om mapper and has nothing to do with
databases, I'd rather not include this in the generator. However, the
template and instructions of how to add it could be added to the website
in a "contrib" kind of directory, if that is ok with you.

I liked it. But to do what I wanted, it needed a different DTD than
Torque
currently produces and a <betwixt-config> file to make the XML more
readable,
typo friendly, and work directly with the OM classes (as opposed to
Beans
only).
Rather than manually creating and try to keep them in sync with my
schema,
I'm working on some Generator templates that will create a Betwixt Multi
Mapping Document (<betwixt-config>) file (
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/betwixt/guide/binding.html#Multi_Mappi
ng_Document_Format
) and a matching DTD from the Torque Schema XML. These will be tied to
the
datadtd task and only be done if an optional build property flag is set.
This would make it very simple to use Betwixt to import/export data
to/from
any record object in your schema. Here's a sample of what the generated
XML will look like.
<!DOCTYPE dataset SYSTEM "bookstore-betwixt.dtd">
<dataset name="bookstore">
<user>
<id>1</id>
<userName>admin</userName>
<password>secret</password>
</user>
<role>
<id>1</id>
<name>Admin</name>
<userName>admin</userName>
</role>
</dataset>
Is there any interest in including this as a new Torque feature?
