hi,

Just wanted to check if hbm2java generates the relevant java code for a <component> mapping ?

thanks
Tony

sure - did you try ? :)

hi,

Yes i did. here is the snippet. I am newbie to HIbernate so i am not surprise if i did something wrong :)

I am not getting any getter/setter for the "Address" class declared in the <component> tag.
Or should i be expecting hbm2java to generate this at all ?
All i am getting is the normal POJO (see the code snippet below).

Thanks for any help
------------------- TbUser.hbm.xml ----------------

<class name="TbUser" table="TB_USER" catalog="auction">
<id name="id" type="short">
<column name="ID" />
<generator class="assigned" />
</id>
<component name="billingAddress" class="Address">
<property name="firstnameC" type="string" column="FIRSTNAME_C />
</component>

....

</class>

---------------------------------------------------------------

-------------- Generated code -----------------------
public class TbUser implements java.io.Serializable {
private short id;
private String firstnameC;
private String middlenameC;
private String lastnameC;
....

public String getFirstnameC() {
return this.firstnameC;
}

public void setFirstnameC(String firstnameC) {
this.firstnameC = firstnameC;
}

....
}

==============

how are you generating this ?

which version of the tools ?

Hibernate Tools 3.1 beta via Eclipse IDE 3.2

I use Hibernate Console to generate the POJO based hbm.xml file (reverse engineer via JDBC).
I get it to generate the hbm.xml file and then add the hbm.xml file to include the <component> tag and then generate again the POJO.

1) eclipse 3.2 is not supported yet (should not affect you, but just a warning)

2) when you are doing the second code generation you are not by any chance still reverse engineering via jdbc ?

Yes. I am using the reverse engineering via JDBC ...
Would that cause it to ignore the edited hbm.xml file and just go and generate POJO based on the table characteristics instead ?
If that is the case, how can i get hbm2java to generate based on my edited hbm.xml file (with the <component> tag change) ?

Thanks

how about trying *not* to enable the reverse engineering via jdbc ? :)

It does not generate any code without the JDBC reverse engineer selection off.

Oops ! please let me rephrase ...
The reverse engineer via JDBC needs to be toggled to 'ON' for it to be able to generate POJOs.

says who ?

the console configuration you point to should just include the mappings via its hibernate.cfg.xml then pojo generation will just pick it up.

uhhh ! .... thanks. Yes. It worked !

Much appreciated.
