New to hibernate.

Could someone point me to some documentations and/or, provide sample examples for generating POJO from DDL?

Salto DB Generator isn't perfect, but it gives you a good head start.

In case you're using Eclipse, there's the Reverse Engineering part of Hibernate Tools.

Caveat: Hibernate Tools suck at diagnosing errors in your configuration, so if you misconfigure things, you're left to fiddling and clever guesswork.

(I got database access and DDL-to-association inference to work, but I can't manually configure associations that aren't explicit in the database.)

Other tools might work better or worse, I don't know.
