Has any anybody written a hibernate wrapper generator, it seems like it would be pretty useful. So for each POJO it would create a cooresponding class that had contained all of the hibernate code.

It would generate a bunch of common finder methods( findAll, findByPK, findBy<one for other columns> with corresponding HQL(probably save/update/delete methods for consistency)

This was available when using CMP with middlegen/xdoclet(the facade stuff) and was very helpful because most queries in a system are pretty simplistic and I would rather not have to write them.

If this has been done, great please point me in the right direction. If not then I will write it, probably as part of the middlegen hibernate plugin. Any thoughts or comments?

hmb2java supports this, as part of the Hibernate roundtrip development tools:

I feel stupid for reading that pages and missing that section. Thanks for the response.

It appears that I still need to list out all the finders that I want, with over 100 tables and hundreds of columns for find on, I think I would rather just generate a finder for every column, it is not like there are any drawbacks to having extra finder methods that don't get used.
