Element names used in the CDS model might conflict with reserved [Java keywords](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se13/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.9) (`class`, `private`, `transient`, etc.). In this case, the `@cds.java.name` annotation must be used to specify an alternative property name that will be used for the generation of accessor interfaces and [static model](./cqn-services/persistence-services#staticmodel) interfaces. The element name used as key in the underlying map for [dynamic access](#entities-and-structured-types) isn't affected by this annotation.

### Using a Local cds-dk
379
+
## Code Generation for Typed Access {#codegen-config}
380
+
381
+
The [interfaces for typed access](../cds-data#generated-accessor-interfaces) are generated at each build
382
+
by the [`cds:generate`](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html) goal of the [CDS Maven Plugin](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/plugin-info.html).
383
+
384
+
You configure this goal just like any other Maven plugin via its configuration options via your application's POM. For example:
385
+
386
+
```xml [pom.xml]
387
+
<execution>
388
+
<id>cds.generate</id>
389
+
<goals>
390
+
<goal>generate</goal>
391
+
</goals>
392
+
<configuration>
393
+
<basePackage>cds.gen</basePackage>
394
+
...
395
+
</configuration>
396
+
</execution>
397
+
```
398
+
399
+
Each time your application is built, these interfaces are regenerated. By default, they are excluded from your version control.
400
+
401
+
### Package for Generated Code
402
+
403
+
The option [`basePackage`](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html#basePackage) can be used to specify a base package prefix for generated code. The suffix package structure will reflect namespaces defined in your CDS model.
404
+
405
+
### Filter for CDS Entities
406
+
407
+
By default, the complete model of your application is generated including all imported or re-used models.
408
+
You can use options [`includes`](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html#includes) and [`excludes`](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html#excludes) to specify the part of your overall model that is subject to code generation. Both inclusion and exclusion can be used together, inclusion is evaluated first, then exclusion filters out of the included set of entities.
409
+
410
+
These options use patterns that are applied on the fully qualified names of the entities in CDS models. For example, the pattern `my.bookshop.*` will cover all definitions with namespace `my.bookshop` and the pattern `my.bookshop.**` will cover all definitions with fully qualified name starting with `my.bookshop`.
411
+
412
+
:::warning Cross-namespace references are not resolved
413
+
Options `includes` and `excludes` are simple filters. If included parts of your model reference types from the excluded area, the resulting code will not compile.
414
+
:::
415
+
416
+
### Style of Interfaces
417
+
418
+
By default, the accessor interfaces provide the setter and getter methods inspired by the JavaBeans specification. In this style, getter and setter method names are prefixed with `get` and `set`:
419
+
420
+
421
+
```java
422
+
Authors author =Authors.create();
423
+
author.setName("Emily Brontë");
424
+
425
+
Books book =Books.create();
426
+
book.setAuthor(author);
427
+
book.setTitle("Wuthering Heights");
428
+
```
429
+
430
+
Alternatively, you can generate accessor interfaces in _fluent style_. In this mode, the getter methods are named after the property names. To enable fluent chaining, the setter methods return the accessor interface itself:
The generation mode is configured by the option [`methodStyle`](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html#methodStyle). The selected style affects all entities and event contexts in your services. The default value is `BEAN`, which represents JavaBeans-style interfaces.
439
+
440
+
Once, when starting a project, decide on the style of the interfaces that is best for your team and project.
441
+
442
+
The way the interfaces are generated only determines how data is accessed by custom code. It does not affect how the data is represented in memory and handled by the CAP Java runtime.
443
+
444
+
Moreover, it doesn't change the way how event contexts, delivered by CAP, look like. Such interfaces from CAP are always modelled in the default JavaBeans style.
445
+
446
+
### Code Generation Features
447
+
448
+
Other options in this goal enable or disable certain features that change the way generated code looks in a certain aspect. These changes can be incompatible with the existing code and require manual adaptation.
This switch changes the signature of the setter methods in typed access interfaces so that they require concrete type instead of generic `Map` interface.
If your entity is modelled with the [composition of aspects](/cds/cdl#with-named-targets), the generated interfaces always reference original aspect as type for setters and getters.
465
+
When this switch is enabled, the code generator uses the type generated by the compiler instead of the type of the aspect itself and will include methods to fetch keys, for example.
466
+
467
+
:::warning Limitations
468
+
This is supported only for the named aspects (inline targets are not supported) and does not respect all possible options how such entities might be exposed by services.
CDS models from external sources might include elements that have some special characters in their names or include elements that clash with Java keywords. Such cases always can be solved with the [renaming features](/java/cds-data#renaming-elements-in-java) provided by code generator, but in case of large models, this is tedious.
474
+
When this switch is enabled, characters `/` and `$` behave as a separators for the name during case conversions, similar to `_` and `.`. For example, `GET_MATERIAL` yields `GetMaterial` (or `getMaterial` for attributes and methods). The same now applies for the names with `/`, for example, name `/DMO/GET_MATERIAL` will be converted to `DmoGetMaterial`.
475
+
476
+
The following conversions are applied:
477
+
- Names from CDS model that are Java keywords are suffixed with `_`.
478
+
- Names from CDS model that use characters that are not valid as Java identifiers, are replaced by `_`. This, however, might lead to a conflicts between names that yield the same name in Java.
479
+
- Leading `_` will remain in the name after conversions. This supports conventions where an association and its foreign key have names like `_assoc` and `assoc`.
480
+
These conversions no longer influence the splitting.
The method `getService()` in generated [event-specific Event Context interfaces](../event-handlers/#eventcontext) is overridden to return the typed service interface instead of the generic `Service` type.
485
+
486
+
:::warning Check migration guides!
487
+
In major releases of CAP Java, some of these switches can be made the new default and some other switches might be removed. This might introduce compile errors
488
+
in your application that needs to be fixed.
489
+

+

See [Maven Plugin Documentation](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html) for actual status of deprecation and switches that are not described here. {.learn-more}
492
+
493
+
### Annotation Detail Level
494
+
495
+
The option [`annotationDetailLevel`](/java/assets/cds-maven-plugin-site/generate-mojo.html#annotationDetailLevel) lets you choose the amount of the details for the Java annotation [`@Generated`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.compiler/javax/annotation/processing/Generated.html) added to each interface. This annotation has no effect at runtime but is evaluated by static code analysis tools to identify the artifacts as generated.
496
+
497
+
Following levels of the details are available:
498
+
-`MINIMAL` (default) - only the annotation is added, no additional information is added.
499
+
500
+
```java
501
+
@CdsName("service.Entity")
502
+
@Generated("cds-maven-plugin")
503
+
publicinterfaceEntityextendsCdsData { }
504
+
```
505
+
506
+
-`FULL` - annotation contains the timestamp of the generation.
507
+
508
+
```java
509
+
@CdsName("service.Entity")
510
+
@Generated(
511
+
value="cds-maven-plugin",
512
+
date="9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999Z",
513
+
comments=""
514
+
)
515
+
publicinterfaceEntityextendsCdsData { }
516
+
```
517
+
518
+
-`NONE` - no `@Generated` annotation is added. This is not recommended.
519
+

## Using a Local cds-dk
380
521
381
522
Starting with version 3.6.0 of the `cds-services-archetype`, the default setup of a newly created CAP Java project has changed. The `@sap/cds-dk` is maintained as a `devDependency` in `package.json` and installed with an `npm ci` during the Maven build.
382
523
The `install-cdsdk` goal is no longer used to install the `@sap/cds-dk` locally and it's also marked as deprecated. The version of the `@sap/cds-dk` is no longer maintained in _pom.xml_, it's configured in the _package.json_:
