I do not understand your question.

I want give a Naming pettern for the generated persistent class i.e the table name without undescores+"Value";

for example - the class name should be "UserDetailsTableValue"

and you are doing reverse engineering ?

then the easiest for you is to use filepattern + a matching custom reverse engineering strategy for the table to classname method.

thanks for the help..Max

Actually what i did is i just took the src code of DefaultReverseEngineeringStrategy and appended String "Value" to the method returning the name of the persistance class. compiled the class DefaultReverseEngineeringStrategy. extracted the hibernate-tools.jar, put the
DefaultReverseEngineeringStrategy.class in side the package org.hibernate.cfg.reveng; build the new hibernate-tools.jar and put it in the eclipse IDE classpath. now its generating the pattern i need . but is there a way were we can specify the custome made class externally.

eh yes- its is the custom reverse engineering strategy field on the reverse engineering page. and the revengstrategy attribute in ant.
