Can Forge generate scaffolding in a separate module from Entities?

[skwirking]

Hi everybody.

Using Forge (v1.1.2.Final) I have set up a multi-module project as follows (packaging types are in square brackets):

parent [pom]

  |-- domain [jar]

  |-- web [war]

The domain module contains my entities, and the web module is to contain the web scaffolding. I have manually added the dependency on the domain module to the web module. However, I cannot figure out how (or even whether) Forge supports this kind of project setup.

For example, if I create an Entity (eg com.example.Test) in the domain module, and then switch to the web module, executing:

scaffold from-entity com.example.Test

I receive the following error:

***ERROR*** Must specify a domain @Entity on which to operate.

It appears that Forge does not search the domain.jar dependency to find the specified entity. This is a pretty common project structure, and seemed to be the original motivation for issue 388 [Better support for multi-modules projects in FORGE].

Does anyone know how I could generate scaffolding in the web module from entities defined in the domain module? the documentation doesn't seem to address this situation, and I can't identify any appropriate options from the list of commands.

Cheers

I have the exact same question. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Currently not. You'll need to generate the entities then move them. We'll be working on thish in newer versions!
