Matching catalogs

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The following example shows how to define a MatcherStrategy for generated org.jooq.Catalog types and related objects:

XML (standalone and maven)
Programmatic
Gradle (Kotlin)
Gradle (Groovy)
Gradle (third party)
<configuration>
  <!-- These properties can be added directly to the generator element: -->
  <generator>
    <strategy>
      <matchers>

        <!-- Specify 0..n catalog matchers to provide a strategy for naming objects created from catalogs. -->
        <catalogs>
          <catalog>

            <!-- Match unqualified or qualified catalog names. If left empty, this matcher applies to all catalogs. -->
            <expression>MY_CATALOG</expression>

            <!-- These elements influence the naming of a generated org.jooq.Catalog object. -->
            <catalogClass> a MatcherRule specification </catalogClass>
            <catalogIdentifier> a MatcherRule specification </catalogIdentifier>
            <catalogExtends>com.example.MyOptionalCatalogBaseType</catalogExtends>
            <catalogImplements>com.example.MyOptionalCustomInterface</catalogImplements>
          </catalog>
        </catalogs>
      </matchers>
    </strategy>
  </generator>
</configuration>

As always, when regular expressions are used, they are regular expressions with default flags.

When using any catalogExtends, etc. setting, you must make sure to correctly implement the internal jOOQ APIs, which are not documented here for they are internal. In particular, if you're extending org.jooq.impl.TableImpl, for example, your custom base class may break between minor versions of jOOQ, as new constructors are added.

See MatcherRule for more information about MatcherRule specifications.
