Hi,

Is there a tool that generate the hibernate hbm files and java files from DDL script file?

I read about the reverse engineering, but it seems like you can do it only by connecting to the DB. I already have the DDL script file and I don't want to modify the DB before I write and test the code.

Thanks,
Ali

so writing the mapping files is not part of writing code ? :)

If you have some way of parsing your script DDL file then I have the api you can implement to make it happen (MetaDataDialect).

Otherwise then you will have to apply it to a db before the reverse engineering can use it.

Alternatively you can use reveng.xml to specify the schema for it to read.
