You're not using genFactory correctly here; genFactory can only return a 
generator based on the standard command-line arguments, but it looks like 
you are trying to define your own generator from a MySQL query.  Without 
seeing the rest of your program it's hard to tell, but maybe you should just 
eliminate the references to genFactory entirely.

If you do use a generator factory, the correct method call is "gen = 
genFactory.getCombinedGenerator()" without any argument(s).
