This is having no impact in my reveng.xml file.

It's still generating the ids as BigDecimal

<table name="TABLE_NAME">
<primary-key>
<generator class="sequence">
<param name="sequence">id_seq</param>
</generator>
<key-column name="id" jdbc-type="NUMERIC" type="long"/>
</primary-key>
<column name="CREATED_BY" exclude="true"/>
<column name="CREATED_DATE" exclude="true"/>
<column name="MODIFIED_BY" exclude="true"/>
<column name="MODIFIED_DATE" exclude="true"/>
</table>

i'm not sure I understand what you are after ?

show what is generated - most likely the schema, table or column are wrong.

this worked once I added a type-mapping section without that it was always giving me big decimals for NUMERICs

but I cannot do anything that gets the key property to be what I want.

<key-column name="id" jdbc-type="NUMERIC" property="uniqueId"/>

it simply ignores the "property" setting.

I want the attribute and instance variable called "uniqueId" but this doesn't work
