[JET] Passing parameters from one method to another [message #659786] Tue, 15 March 2011 15:38 Go to next message

Hello everybody,

I want to know if there is a way for my jet template to pass the value of a variable before I execute my project. I'm creating a dynamical mysql database, and I have a main method that creates indexes for every table through a for loop.

<%for (Table table: db.getTables()) {%>
createTable(con,"<%=table.getName()%>","<%=getCreateTableCommand(db,table)%>");	


As you can see, this method calls another one:

public static void createTable (Connection con,  String tableName, String createTableStatement) throws SQLException {
		Statement st = null;
		st = con.createStatement();
		System.out.println(String.format("Creating table %s.",tableName));		
		try {
				st.executeUpdate(createTableStatement);
		} catch (SQLException e) {
			 if ( e.getErrorCode() == 1050) {
			   	System.out.println(String.format("\tTable %s already exists. Dropped.",tableName));			  	
			   	st.executeUpdate(String.format("DROP TABLE %s",tableName));
				System.out.println(String.format("\tCreating table %s.", tableName));
				st.executeUpdate("createTableStatement");
			}
			else {
			 		ServiceMessage.Exception.handle(e);
			 }
		}
		st.close();
	}



Here, I'm trying to execute the "Create Table" query beforehand and if this table exists, I delete it and create it again. But before dropping the table, I need to delete its constraints/foreign keys, and for that I need the table name so I can use a rutine under jsp tags that would construct me the sentences I need for. My *real* problem is, that I don't know how to send the table name from the first method to createTable method because those methods weren't written under jsp tags java since I'm going to use them after I translate my template, and even if createTable receives the String tableName (which contains the name of the table that I'm currently creating) I can't use it like this:

<% 	List <String> fk  = public List <String> getTablesWithFK (tableName); %>


Because when the template is translating, it doesn't recognize the variable.

Since I can't merge both methods in only one (that would simplify my existence, because I can directly use <%=table.getName()%> as parameter in getTableswithFK()), is there any way I can receive that value from one method to another?

Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to execute the 'createTable' method during template execution? If so, try this:

<%for (Table table: db.getTables()) {
    createTable(con, table.getName(), getCreateTableCommand(db,table));	
} %>

Nou, that method is executed after the template is translated and generate a java class with the results of that template. Crying or Very Sad

So you want to generate some Java code, then compile and execute it, after it has been generated?

If so, why not create a simple Ant build that does that, and run it after the template has executed. (If needed, you could create a template the produces the Ant build.xml file, too).
