I am trying to prototype a microservice application with JHipster and I have tried to collect all the information what I was able in order to do it properly, but it is not totally clear how to put together a JDL to have the right entities in the right services generated.
What I would expect is to have a directory layout like:
/..
gateway <- Ideal would be to have only fronted code
invoice <- Invoice CRUD code with corresponding ms (with below JDL it is empty)
order <- Order CRUD code with corresponding ms
usage <- Usage CRUD code with corresponding ms (with below JDL it is empty)
Here is the JDL used:
application {
config {
baseName gateway,
applicationType gateway,
packageName com.org.myApp.sales,
serviceDiscoveryType eureka,
searchEngine elasticsearch,
authenticationType oauth2,
prodDatabaseType postgresql,
cacheProvider hazelcast,
buildTool gradle,
clientFramework react,
testFrameworks [protractor]
}
entities *
}
application {
config {
baseName invoice,
applicationType microservice,
packageName com.org.myApp.invoice,
serviceDiscoveryType eureka,
searchEngine elasticsearch,
authenticationType oauth2,
prodDatabaseType postgresql,
devDatabaseType postgresql,
buildTool gradle,
serverPort 8081,
skipUserManagement true
}
entities Invoice, Product
}
application {
config {
baseName usage,
applicationType microservice,
packageName com.org.myApp.usage,
serviceDiscoveryType eureka,
searchEngine elasticsearch,
authenticationType oauth2,
prodDatabaseType postgresql,
devDatabaseType postgresql,
cacheProvider no,
enableHibernateCache false,
buildTool gradle,
serverPort 8082,
skipUserManagement true
}
entities Usage
}
application {
config {
baseName order,
applicationType microservice,
packageName com.org.myApp.order,
serviceDiscoveryType eureka,
searchEngine elasticsearch,
authenticationType oauth2,
prodDatabaseType postgresql,
devDatabaseType postgresql,
buildTool gradle,
serverPort 8083,
skipUserManagement true
}
entities ProductOrder, OrderItem, ProductCategory, Product
}
entity Product {
name String required
description String
price BigDecimal required min(0)
size Size required

}
enum Size {
S, M, L, XL, XXL
}
entity ProductCategory {

gender Gender required
email String required pattern(/^[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\.[^@\s]+$/)

}
enum Gender {

}
entity ProductOrder {

}
enum OrderStatus {

}
entity OrderItem {

}
enum OrderItemStatus {
AVAILABLE, OUT_OF_STOCK, BACK_ORDER
}
relationship OneToOne {
Customer{user(login) required} to User
}
relationship ManyToOne {
OrderItem{product(name) required} to Product
}
relationship OneToMany {
ProductOrder{orderItem} to OrderItem{order(code) required} ,
ProductCategory{product} to Product{productCategory(name)}
}
service Product, ProductCategory, Customer, ProductOrder, OrderItem with serviceClass
paginate Product, Customer, ProductOrder, OrderItem with pagination
/* Entities for Invoice microservice */
entity Invoice {
code String required
date Instant required
details String
status InvoiceStatus required
paymentMethod PaymentMethod required
paymentDate Instant required
paymentAmount BigDecimal required
}
enum InvoiceStatus {
PAID, ISSUED, CANCELLED
}
enum PaymentMethod {
CREDIT_CARD, CASH_ON_DELIVERY, PAYPAL
}
entity Usage {

sentDate Instant required
userId Long required
productId Long required
}
microservice Invoice with invoice
microservice Usage with usage
microservice Product, ProductCategory, ProductOrder, OrderItem with order
dto * with mapstruct

Environment:
##### **Environment and Tools**
JHipster version: v6.6.0
java version "11.0.5" 2019-10-15 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.5+10-LTS)

node: v12.14.0

INFO! Congratulations, JHipster execution is complete!
So here are my questions:
1. What is exactly controlling where the entities are generated?
application {
config {
baseName gateway,
applicationType gateway,
packageName com.org.myApp.sales,
serviceDiscoveryType eureka,
searchEngine elasticsearch,
authenticationType oauth2,
prodDatabaseType postgresql,
cacheProvider hazelcast,
buildTool gradle,
clientFramework react,
testFrameworks [protractor]
}
entities * <-- What if all entities associated to a different service not to the gateway? (actually when I tried I ended up with an empty folder for gateway)
}
2. How is microservice <ENTITIES> with <MICROSERVICE_APP_NAME> relates to the above mentioned entities * section?
3. Is the relationship between entities affects where the code is generated?
