Hi!

I asked this question in Hibernate Users a few days ago, and haven't got a reply. Maybe it's a better place place for it.

So, i put this metadata: <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta> on a property, in order to
include just this property in the container class toString().

For example, if this property's value is "A", i want it's class toString() to write this: A

My problem is that it writes something like this: package.Class@1c8ef56[id=foo,property=foo]

could you tell me why? thanks for help.

check the code generated and you will see why.

It uses commons stringbuilder in the h2.1 version....in the future it won't..

so, it's a problem with commons.lang.builder.ToStringBuilder

are there any solution?

thanks

extend BasicRenderer and make it write the toString you want.

Could you explain how to do this? I have read the documentation, but still have no idea.

here is my config file:

<codegen>
<generate renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer"/>
<generate package="org.hgpm.model.entity.finders" suffix="Finder" renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.FinderRenderer"/>
</codegen>

thanks.

extend BasicRenderer and use it instead of BasicRenderer.



remember to place your own basic renderer in the classpath of hbm2java so it can find it.

thanks max, it works now.
in the future, i hope there will be a simpler solution to this problem.
