Annotation processing allows the compile to build class files based on provided annotations. This allows for clean consistent generated code to be built for each entity as required.
The generators are defined such that any generated source will first check for the existence of the same class file. Thus you can copy a file out from target/generated-sources and place it within your project to customize and use as desired.
This is the core annotation for referencing a Casquatch Entity. This is used to trigger the creation of the implementation for AbstractStatementFactory used by CasquatchDao. This annotation will typically be added only on Entities which should be created by Code Generator
This is the annotation for referencing a Casquatch Type which represents a CQL User Defined Type. This is used to trigger the creation of the implementation for AbstractTypeFactory used by AbstractStatementFactory. This annotation will typically be added only on Types which should be created by Code Generator
This annotation must be placed on the main application class within a Spring project to integrate Casquatch as it imports CasquatchSpringBeans
