Generating C# Object API Code

Use the Code Generation Utility to generate object API code, which allows you to use APIs to develop device applications for Windows or Windows Mobile devices.

Prerequisites
  • Generate and download the ESDMA bundle for you application.
  • Run the ESDMA Converter utility to turn your ESDMA into an Unwired Platform package.
  • Deploy the package to Unwired Server.
See Create, Generate, and Download the ESDMA Bundle, Convert the ESDMA Bundle into an Unwired Platform Package, and Deploy the Unwired Platform Package in Mobile Data Models: Using Data Orchestration Engine.
Task
  1. Make sure that your <ESDMA_dir>\META-INF directory contains these three files:
    • afx-esdma.xml
    • ds-doe.xml
    • sup-db.xml
  2. From <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\MobileSDK\ObjectAPI\Utils\bin, run the codegen.bat utility, specifying the following parameters:
    codegen -cs -client -doe -sqlite 
    [-output <output_dir>] [-doc] <ESDMA_dir>\META-INF\sup-db.xml
    • The -output parameter allows you to specify an output directory. If you omit this parameter, the output goes into the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\MobileSDK\ObjectAPI\Utils\genfiles directory, assuming codegen.bat is run from the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\UnwiredPlatform\MobileSDK\ObjectAPI\Utils\bin directory.
    • The -doc parameter specifies that documentation is generated for the generated code.
    Ignore these warnings:
    log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger ...
    log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
