While using hibernate code generation tools, Can i include custom code in the resulting pojos? if so, how do i configure reveng.xml so that it generates hbm.xml accordingly

for example

if i want to override hashcode() method, i would have the following section in hbm.xml
<meta attribute="class-code">
<![CDATA[
public void hashcode() {
----------------------------------------
}

]]>

How do i configure reveng.xml to create this section in hbm.xml

you can insert <meta> elements in <table-filter> and <table> tags.

any reason you won't use "use-in-equals" to have symmetrical equals and hashcode implementations.

Max,

I am a complete newbie to this...never knew i could use use-in-equals

Anyway, ur suggestion worked for me. thanks

i had another question... how do i control the way the constructor methods are generated

for example, by default i get the following method

public Act(long id, Jurisdiction jurisdiction, Agency agency, String name) {
this.id = id;
this.jurisdiction = jurisdiction;
this.agency = agency;
this.name = name;
}


But i dont want this..instead i want the constructor method to look like the one below

public Act(Jurisdiction jurisdiction, String name) {
this.jurisdiction = jurisdiction;
this.name = name;
}


thanks

customize the templates.

The short version shouldn't include the id if i remember correctly.

Max,
For some reason, the id is being include in the shorter version

I dont know how to use templates... by templates u mean hbm templates right?

the following is the only page i refer to, to learn about code generation techniques.
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools ... e/#d0e2021

Is there a place on the internet which talks abt how to create the templates and so on?

Please provide me with any useful links on this.

Moreover i dont use ant task... rather i use the gui to generate the code...
