Hi

Does anyone know of a tool which can convert a db table to a java class. I am developing a web app and the persistence layer will be using hibernate annotations, hence why I ask.

thanks

Hibernate Tools has a reverse engineering plugin for eclipse.

you must read more ;) ñ_ñ

Section 3.5 talks about reverse engineering of you database into Java and the subsequent Java code generation from your db tables and columns. It's a pretty good reference tutorial on turning your database into a Hibernate usable format:

wonderful. thanks guys

You're welcome. :)
