hibernatetool M4, hibernate 3.1, oracle 10

Hi,
While doing reverse engineering (using jdbcconfiguration) with hibernatetools M4, I want to use the comments defined in the database (on table and column level), and put them in the .hbm mapping files and into the
generated java source files.

This is a snippet of my ant script.

<target name="reveng" depends="clean,init">
<hibernatetool destdir="${targetdir}" >

<jdbcconfiguration
propertyfile="hibernate.properties"

packagename="eu.europa.schengen.sis.cs.abstraction.domain"
reversestrategy="hib.MyReverseEngineeringStrategy"
revengfile="hibernate.reveng.xml"
/>
<hbm2hbmxml/>
<hbm2java jdk5="true" ejb3="false" />
<hbm2doc/>
</hibernatetool>

</target>

what is your database ? If it is oracle then you have to add a setting to the jdbc connection since oracle does not report it by default:

hibernate.connection.remarksReporting=true

enabling this will also make reveng sloooow since it apparently is tough for oracle to include the comments ;)

Max,

This generates the comments in the table documentation, hbm2doc,
but I want it somewhere inside the .hbm file and also as a comment
in the sourcecode, so the developers know what this class is about.

hmm i actually thought hbm did include them - apparently not.

open a jira for it.

i'm not totally keen on having the comment make it into the java class, but it could make sense to have it as a default if class-description is not there.

open another jira for that.

thanks.

btw. its easy to add, just customize the persistentclass.hbm and property.hbm template.
