hi,
i want to try and embed/di a bytecode genned java object into an existing hibernate pojo graph. is there anyway i can hook into the way hib uses cglib or i can embed it like in EJB3.0. the object/s which i want to embed will have associative relations to the hibernate pojos but becos i use a metadata driven application i cannot create hbm files for them...

someone please advise ?

TIA

does the post make sense at all ? or i need to repost somewhere else ?

Is there a common parent class or interface that these metadata generated objects implement or extend? Perhaps that could be the basis of your object mapping?

we are currently in the relational world and are wondering if usage of hibernate may affect development deadlines.
the relational schema has entities with associations between them. the objective is to bind certain data objects to one of these entities. the data objects dont have a mapping of any kind to the entities other than through the relational model. e.g., if i have a entity workflow in relational schema, it will relate to the busobj_entitytemplate entity in the relational schema which in turn has 1ormore busobj_entitytemplatefieldmap. the busobj_entitytemplatefieldmap contains for the purpose of the busobj_entitytemplate the definitive list of fields which the template can contain and typically would include the field_name and the field_type which are represented as separate tables in the relational schema. we also have fieldvaluetype tables representing strings, dates and numbers etc...
do u need more information on this ?

regards...........
