Generating references to reusable code in a schema

A computer program product for processing a program coded in a first programming language having data structures, wherein at least one of the data structures includes a reference to reusable code, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code configured to:
• generate a model file providing a source name identifying the reusable code, elements and attributes in a second programming language for the reference to the reusable code in the program;
• invoke a generator with a reference to the model file;
• process, by the invoked generator, the data structure coded in the first programming language to generate a data structure schema in a second programming language describing elements and attributes of the data structure coded in the first programming language;
• determine instances of the source name indicated in the model file in the data structure;
• and
• generate, for the determined instances of the source name in the data structure, a reference in the data structure schema to the reusable code identified by the source name, wherein the reference generated in the data structure schema includes the element and attribute information indicated in the model file.

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• a model generator executed in the memory to:
• process a program coded in a first programming language having data structures, wherein at least one of the data structures includes a reference to reusable code;
• and
• generate a model file providing a source name identifying the reusable code, elements and attributes in a second programming language for the reference to the reusable code in the processed program;
• a schema generator executed in the memory to:
• process the data structure coded in the first programming language to generate a data structure schema in a second programming language describing elements and attributes of the data structure coded in the first programming language;
• determine instances of the source name indicated in the model file in the data structure;
• and
• generate, for the determined instances of the source name in the data structure, a reference in the data structure schema to the reusable code identified by the source name, wherein the reference generated in the data structure schema includes the element and attribute information indicated in the model file.
