This is the next gen (v4) of AutoRest Java generator. It's built on AutoRest v3, written in Java, and supports OpenAPI3. It generates clients that work with com.azure:azure-core.
You need to have the following installed on your machine:
- Node.JS v12+
- Java 11+
- Maven 3
You need to have autorest installed through NPM:
npm install -g autorestTo use the latest released preview(https://github.com/Azure/autorest.java/releases), run
autorest --java
--use:@autorest/[email protected]
--input-file:path/to/specs.json
--output-folder:where/to/generate/java/files
--namespace:specified.java.packageThe first time running it will take a little longer to download and install all the components.
To build from source code, clone this repo and checkout to main branch. Make sure all prerequisites are met, and run
mvn package -P localThis will build a file javagen-jar-with-dependencies.jar under javagen module, a preprocess-jar-with-dependencies.jar under preprocessor module, a fluentgen-jar-with-dependencies.jar under fluentgen module, and a fluentnamer-jar-with-dependencies.jar under fluentnamer module.
And then run AutoRest
autorest --java
--use:where/this/repo/is/cloned/autorest.java
--input-file:path/to/specs.json
--output-folder:where/to/generate/java/files
--namespace:specified.java.packageJava files will be generated under where/to/generate/java/files/src/main/java/specified/java/package.
To debug, add --java.debugger to the argument list. The JVM will suspend at the beginning of the execution. Then attach a remote debugger in your IDE to localhost:5005. Make sure you detach the debugger before killing the AutoRest process. Otherwise it will fail to shutdown the JVM and leave it orphaned. (which can be killed in the Task Manager)
-
use-default-http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping: true, use subclass ofHttpResponseExceptiondefined in azure-core, when service returns unexpected status code. -
generic-response-type: true, useResponseBase<>, instead a subclass ofResponseBase<>, for response with HTTP headers. Performance and reflective access improvement. -
no-custom-headers: true, generates overloads of interface methods that exclude typed headers. Performance improvement by removing the need to convert header strings to Java types. -
required-fields-as-ctor-args, create a constructor taking required properties, for model classes. The correctness of this constructor highly depends on the correctness of Swagger. -
output-model-immutable: true, make model classes immutable, if model is used only in response. -
enable-sync-stack: true, let sync method invoke sync RestProxy method. -
enable-page-size: true, letmaxpagesizequery parameter be supplied viabyPageAPI inPagedFluxorPagedIterable. -
use-key-credential: true, useKeyCredentialin builder for API key. -
generate-client-as-impl: true, generate Client in implementation package, for customization. -
models-subpackage: implementation.models, generate model classes in implementation package. -
custom-types-subpackage: models, generate selected model classes in models package.
Settings can be provided on the command line through --name:value or in a README file through name: value.

Polling configurations can be set through --polling setting globally or for each operation. The format is a key value map specified below:
polling:
{operationId}:
strategy: {strategy}
sync-strategy: {sync-strategy}
intermediate-type: {intermediate-type}
final-type: {final-type}
poll-interval: {poll-interval}
With the fields specified below:
| Field | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| operationId | String | true | The operationId of the operation. For global polling configuration, use default. Case insensitive. |
Pets_put |
| strategy | String | false | The invocation to construct a polling strategy. Use fully qualified class name if outside the implementation subpackage specified in namespace & implementation-subpackage. Use dynamic literals {httpPipeline}, {context}, {serializerAdapter}, {endpoint}, {serviceVersion}, {intermediate-type}, {final-type} if these components are required to construct the polling strategy. Default is new DefaultPollingStrategy<>(new PollingStrategyOptions({httpPipeline}).setEndpoint({endpoint}).setContext({context}).setServiceVersion({serviceVersion})). |
new com.azure.core.util.polling.OperationResourcePollingStrategy<>({httpPipeline}, {context}) |
| sync-stragety | String | false | Similar to stragety. It refers to the synchronous operation resource polling strategy. |
|
| intermediate-type | String | false | The type of the polling intermediate type. Use fully qualified class name if outside the base package specified in namespace. Default is the return type specified on the operation in Swagger, or BinaryData if the operation returns void. |
PollResult,com.azure.core.util.BinaryData |
| final-type | String | false | The type of the final result type. Use fully qualified class name if outside the base package specified in namespace. Default is the return type specified on the operation in Swagger, or BinaryData if the operation returns void. |
Pet,com.azure.core.util.BinaryData |
| poll-interval | integer | false | The default interval in seconds to poll with (can be modified by users in PollerFlux and SyncPoller. Default is 1. |
30 |
To use default settings globally, use --polling={}.
By default, Swagger definitions will contain an exception type to be thrown when any error HTTP status code is seen. Swaggers
may also define the error HTTP status code to exception type mapping, but isn't always the case. Or, it may be needed to change
the default exception type to a custom type. In these cases it is possible to configure the error HTTP status code to exception
type handling by using the configurations --default-http-exception-type, --use-default-http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping,
and --http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping.
NOTE: Using the configurations on an already shipped library will likely result in runtime breaking changes as most
libraries are already using a sub-class type of HttpResponseException and changing sub-types is a breaking change.
The default exception type is used for all error HTTP response status codes that do not have an explicit exception type
configured. Generally, there is no error HTTP response status code to exception type mapping, so this will become your
general exception type. The following is an example of configuring com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException as
the default exception type:
autorest --default-http-exception-type=com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException
or in the Swagger README configuration:
default-http-exception-type: com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException
If this configuration isn't used the default exception type will be based on the Swagger definition.
The default error HTTP status code to exception type map is the following:
| Status Code | Exception Type |
|---|---|
| 401 | com.azure.core.exception.ClientAuthenticationException |
| 404 | com.azure.core.exception.ResourceNotFoundException |
| 409 | com.azure.core.exception.ResourceModifiedException |
By default, this mapping isn't used, to use it pass the --use-default-http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping to
the generator or in the Swagger README configuration:
use-default-http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping: true
If you need to have a custom mapping it is possible to do so by using --http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping.
This requires additional configuration in the Swagger README definition as it is a mapping of HTTP status code to
exception. The following is an example:
http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping:
404: com.azure.core.exception.ResourceNotFoundException
412: com.azure.core.exception.ResourceExistsException
The HTTP status code to exception type handling configurations can be used together to offer a nice baseline default with additional customizations as need. For example, if you wanted to configure the default exception type, use most of the default error HTTP status code to exception type, and customize one error HTTP status code exception type the following configurations can be used.
default-http-exception-type: com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException
use-default-http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping: true
http-status-code-to-exception-type-mapping:
404: com.azure.core.exception.ResourceExistsException
This results in the following error HTTP response to exception type mapping:
| Status Code | Exception Type |
|---|---|
| 401 | com.azure.core.exception.ClientAuthenticationException |
| 404 | com.azure.core.exception.ResourceExistsException |
| 409 | com.azure.core.exception.ResourceModifiedException |
| * | com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException |
Notices how 404 changes from the default com.azure.core.exception.ResourceNotFoundException to
com.azure.core.exception.ResourceExistsException.
You can generate the output as minimal data-plane clients with --data-plane flag.
The models will not be generated and the methods in the clients will be generated as protocol methods.
The generated code has the following structure:
- pom.xml
- /src/main/java
|
- module-info.java
- /com/azure/<group>/<service>
|
- <Service>Builder.java
- <Service>Client.java
- <Service>AsyncClient.java
- /implementation
|
- <Service>ClientImpl.java
and requires latest azure-core as a dependency.
For guidance on using the post-code generation customization framework see its documentation.
This contains the base classes and utilities for creating an AutoRest extension in Java. It handles the JSON RPC communications with AutoRest core, provides JSON and YAML parsers, and provides the POJO models for the code model output from modelerfour.
Extend from NewPlugin.java class if you are writing a new extension in Java.
This contains the actual generator extension, including mappers that maps a code model to a Java client model, and templates that writes the Java client models into .java files.
This contains the generator extension for Azure Management Libraries.
This contains the generated classes from the test swaggers in src/main. The code here should always be kept up-to-date with the output of the generator in javagen.
This also contains test code for these generated code under src/test. Running the tests will hit the test server running locally (see https://github.com/Azure/autorest.testserver for instructions) and verify the correctness of the generated code.
