Domains

Benerator domains are a vehicle for defining, bundling and reusing domain specific data generation, e.g. for personal data, addresses, internet, banking, telecom. They may be localized to specific languages and be grouped to hierarchical datasets, e.g. for continents, countries and regions.

Benerator comes packaged with several domains that have simple implementation of specific data generation and may serve as a base for deriving own specific data generation domains:

• person: Data related to a person

• address: Data related to contacting a person by post

• net: Internet and network related data

• finance: finance data

• organization: Organization data

• product: Product-related data

person domain

The person domain has three major components:

• PersonGenerator: Generates Person beans

• AcademicTitleGenerator: Generates academic titles

• NobilityTitleGenerator: Generates nobility titles

• GivenNameGenerator: Generates given names

• FamilyNameGenerator: Generates family names

• BirthDateGenerator: Generates birth dates

• GenderGenerator: Generates Gender values. The generated gender can be one of the values MALE, FEMALE and DIVERSE. The generator is configured with the properties femaleQuotaand diverseQuota.

• EmailAddressGenerator: Generates Email addresses

• GenderConverter: Converts Gender values to predefined strings

• TIN: Marks a Java attribute or property as a European Tax Identification Number

• TINGenerator: Creates European Tax Identification Numbers

• TINValidator: Validates European Tax Identification Numbers

PersonGenerator

Creates Person beans to be used for prototype-based data generation. It can be configured with dataset and locale property. The generated Person JavaBeans exhibits the properties salutation, title (both locale-dependent), givenName, familyName (both dataset-dependent), gender, birthDate, age. If the chosen dataset definition provides name weights, benerator generates person names according to their statistical probability. Of course, gender, salutation and givenName are consistent.

You can use the PersonGenerator like this:

<import domains="person"/>

<generate type="user" count="5" consumer="ConsoleExporter">
    <variable name="person" generator="PersonGenerator" dataset="FR" locale="fr" />
    <attribute name="salutation" source="person.salutation" />
    <attribute name="name" script="{person.givenName +' '+ person.familyName}}" />
</generate>

to get output similar to this:

user[salutation=Mr, name=David Morel]
user[salutation=Mr, name=Robert Robert]
user[salutation=Mr, name=Eric Morel]
user[salutation=Mr, name=Patrick Lefebvre]
user[salutation=Mme, name=Helene Fournier]

PersonGenerator Properties

The PersonGenerator can be configured with several properties:

Property	Description	Default Value
dataset	Either a region name or the two-letter-ISO-code of a country, e.g. US for the USA. See 'Advanced Topics > Region nesting'	The user's default country
locale	Two-letter-ISO-code of the language in which to create salutation and titles, e.g. en for English	The user's default language
minAgeYears	The minimum age of generated persons	15
maxAgeYears	The maximum age of generated persons	105
femaleQuota	The quota of generated women (1 → 100%)	0.5
nobleQuota	The quota of generated noble persons (1 → 100%)	0.005

Your use-cases are more sophisticated and require additional countries, cities or valid addresses down to street level and number, check our Benerator Editions or feel free to contact us for assistance: team@rapiddweller.com.

Address domain

• AddressGenerator: Generates addresses that match simple validity checks: The City exists, the ZIP code matches and the phone number area codes are right. The street names are random, so most addresses will not stand validation of real existence.

• PhoneNumberGenerator: Generates landline telephone numbers for a country

• MobilePhoneNumberGenerator: Generates mobile phone numbers for a country

• CountryGenerator: Generates countries

• CountryCode2: Annotation that marks a Java attribute or property as ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 code

• CountryCode2Validator: Java Bean Validation ConstraintValidator for ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 codes

• CityGenerator: Generates Cities for a given country

• StreetNameGenerator: Generates street names for a given country

• PostalCodeValidator: Validates if a given postal code is valid in a given country

The following countries are supported:

country	code	remarks
USA	US	Valid ZIP codes and area codes, no assurance that the street exists in this city.
United Kingdom	GB	Valid area codes, no postcodes, no assurance that the street exists in this city or the local phone number has the appropriate length. Contributions are welcome
Germany	DE	Valid ZIP codes and area codes, no assurance that the street exists in this city or the local phone number has the appropriate length
Switzerland	CH	Valid ZIP codes and area codes, no assurance that the street exists in this city or the local phone number has the appropriate length
Brazil	BR	Valid ZIP codes and area codes, no assurance that the street exists in this city or the local phone number has the appropriate length

The generated Address objects have the following data fields:

• street: The regular street address

• street2: Additions to the street address, like c/o or postbox

• postalCode: the postal code

• city: A reference to a City object, which can be navigated and queried by a script expression, for example {address.city.name}

• state: A reference to a State object, which can be navigated and queried by a script expression, for example {address.state.name}

• country: A reference to a Country object, which can be navigated and queried by a script expression, for example {address.country.name}

• privatePhone, officePhone, mobilePhone and fax: References to PhoneNumber objects, which can be navigated and queried by a script expression

• organization and department: Names of an organization and a department.

net domain

The net domain provides the

• DomainGenerator, which generates Internet domain names

organization domain

Provides the following generators:

• CompanyNameGenerator, a generator for company names.

• DepartmentNameGenerator, a generator for department names

If you use the CompanyNameGenerator like this:

<import domains="organization" />

<generate type="company" count="5" consumer="ConsoleExporter">
    <attribute name="name" generator="CompanyNameGenerator" dataset="DE" locale="de_DE"/>
</generate>

you get output like this:

company[name=Belanda Aktiengesellschaft & Co. KG]
company[name=MyWare Technologies GmbH]
company[name=WebBox AG]
company[name=Altis AG]
company[name=Ernst Fischer Technik GmbH]

Company names can be generated for the following countries:

country	code	remarks
Germany	DE	none
USA	US	none

The Generator creates objects of type CompanyName, consisting of shortName, sector, location and legalForm information. You can make use of the object as a whole which is converted to a string automatically using the 'fullName' version as shown in the example above. But you can also make direct use of the basic properties:

<import domains="organization" />

<generate type="company" count="5" consumer="ConsoleExporter">
    <variable name="c" generator="CompanyNameGenerator" dataset="DE" locale="de_DE"/>
    <attribute name="name" script="c.shortName + ' ' + c.legalForm" />
</generate>

faker domain

The faker package provides the Generator class with library base on Java Faker (as well as Perl's Data::Faker library)

• FakerGenerator : Generates data for many topics such as book, food, music...

Because this Generator has many topics, each topic has many properties, you have to choose topic and property and put it into the 'generator' as parameters (like this generator="new FakerGenerator('topic'','property')").

Some topics have different data which base on the locale, you can change it by manual setting 'locale'.

You can use the FakerGenerator like this:

<import domains="faker"/>

<generate type="data" count="5" consumer="ConsoleExporter">
    <attribute name="name" generator="new FakerGenerator('name','fullName')" locale="en_US"/>
    <attribute name="HarryPotter" generator="new FakerGenerator('harryPotter','character')" locale="en"/>
    <attribute name="dinner" type="string" generator="new FakerGenerator('food','dish')" locale="de_CH"/>
</generate>

to get output similar to this:

data[name=Maira Lubowitz MD, HarryPotter=Pomona Sprout, dinner=French Fries with Sausages]
data[name=Mr. Josue Kreiger, HarryPotter=Fang, dinner=Chicken Milanese]
data[name=Henry Skiles, HarryPotter=Parvati Patil, dinner=Scotch Eggs]
