Schema references in JDL

[clemi2408]

Overview of the issue

Does JDL support to define entities based on json schema?

entity Customer ref http://a-server/a-path/Customer.json

Or define external specs of all kinds like:

spec RequestA {
    type jsonschema
    url http://a/source/requestA.json
}

spec RequestB {
    type xsd
    url http://a/source/requestB.xsd
}

spec WsdlApi {
    type wsdl
    url http://a/source/api.wsdl
}

spec Api1 {
    type openapi
    url http://a/source/api1.yml
}

spec Api2 {
    type openapi
    url http://a/source/api2.json
}

and map them to services.

application {
  config {
    openApiServer true
    openApiClient true
    generateModels true
  }
  serverSpecs Api1
  clientSpecs Api2
  modelSpecs RequestB
}

maybe this could also go hand in hand with library management in jdl - could imagine something like this to define

wiredlib library1 {
    groupId io.fabric8.kubeflix
    artifactId hello-world-example
    version 1.0.28
}

generatedlib library2 {
    spec Api1
    client false
    server true
}

and usage like this:

application {
  config {
    wiredLibs true
    generatedLibs true
  }
  wiredlibs library1
  generatedlibs library2
}

Motivation for or Use Case

Would like to use internet reachable api endpoints to reference schema specs in jdl

Suggest a Fix

support schema mappings in jdl process schema mappings and generate openapi-generator/jsonschema-generator pom entries.
