hbm2jsf

hey guys,

i've been poking around with ejb3/hibernate/seam/jsf... an hbm2jsf generator sounds like a great fit.

I'm interested in something less ambitious for now... generating facelet fragments for input/view of hibernate-annotated POJOs. Some validation tags would also be taken into account (mostly just the @Length or @Column (length = n) annotation to set the size of the rendered <input> tag. These fragments would then be edited and included inside templates...

I was wondering as to the status of this project, and if there's any code in CVS that I could check out...

Right, we are working on this now.

Max, I suppose Tools does not yet generate Hibernate Validator stuff. Could we add that to the TODO list?

what validator tags are relevant to automatically generate ?

put them in a jira issue and it will get in there at some point ;)

he is referring to hbm2seam which includes jsf related generation.

btw. just readup on validator and now i see which annotaitons which would make sense (basically just @NotNull and @Length for strings)

some im missing?

I can only hazard a guess, but maybe he means the @Min, @Max and @Range annotations, which can arguably be used to constrain the number of digits for a numeric input field...

hello Max.

I noticed the code generation stuff has changed quite a bit in the last month or so. Can you please give me a high level idea about how this new design works before I dive back in?

hmm - a month since i changed it; hardly remember it ;)

but generally AbstractExporter has more responsibility now (but you can of course do what you want in your concrete exporter, but try and play nice ;)

I added properties support, meaning that all exporters are handed in a properties set from which they should configure them self...this is a generic replacements/complement to the typesafe setters on the exporters (typesafe getters/setters should simply reflect its changes onto the properties set)

Hi,

I am searching for a way to generate a "simple" administrative interface base on the hibernate mapping (hbm) (struts-jsp, jsf-jsp, java-swing?). Is there a way to generate the "crud" code from the hbm (dao and JSP) ? I have clicked on the link http://hbm2jsf.dbyrne.net/ provided here, but it doesn't work now.

I have also found an interesting example from the Netbean site (for Netbean 5.5 beta: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/articles/hibernate-javaee.html, but it use EJB 3... I am affraid I will not be able to install a EJB 3 server on my production server now.

At first glance, it should be possible to create a Swing application (or web app) that take the HBM in parameter and give a full administration application on a database..? Nobody have build this apps yet?

Thanks

Etienne ,

You are probably better off looking at the Hibernate tools documentation for "hbm2seam" .
