put it as a request in the jira....at the moment the same logic is used for field and property names. we need two separate namingstrategies for them

Is there any config file for this?

no not yet.

there will be.

at the moment it is controlled in code by ReverseNamingStrategy

-max

Thanks a lot.

How about if I want to define some rules for the property naming? is that possible?

For example, if I have a database in which the column names start with a prefix, and i don't want this prefix to appear in the property name, how would I make the generator ignore this prefixes?

Same applies to table names that get carried on to class names.

If I do the mapping only once, then i can manually edit the xml files, and everybody will be happy. But that is not a solution once you need to repeat the process so many times.

I hope there is an easy way to control this by setting some rules for creating class and property names in the mapping generator.

Thanks

Did you look at ReverseNamingStrategy ?

It was built for the purpose you state.

Now I just need to find a good way to expose it in the ui.

Actually I have not.

That must be a challenge to add in the gui.

I appreciate your patience, but how do i access the project?

I come from netbeans, and working with eclipse is new to me.

I checked out the sources from cvs.(module HibernateExt)
but i can't open an eclipse project to see the gui.
I know this is not the place to be learning eclipse!, but I appreciate any pointers!


thanks

if you just want to mess with the engine you dont need eclipse.

its only the visual stuff that is tied to eclipse.
