Hello,

The Java domain code generated by <hbm2java> Ant task uses basic typed composite ids.
There is a checkbox in the arifact generation dialog of eclipse hibernate tool plugin to disable "Generate basic typed compiste ids"
Is there any method to do the same with <hbm2java>?

hbm2java will generate the approrpiate code for the HBM documents arrangement. If it has composite keys with a separate key mapped as such then you will get the appropriate Java generated. Best bet is to try it out and see what get generated.

thanks david,
I use <hbm2hbmxml> to re-engineer the hbm.xml files from a database connection.
Could I configure it to generate generate the following mapping

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<composite-id name="id" class="project.db.TbMatchingId">
<key-many-to-one name="tbCategory" class="project.db.TbCategory">
<column name="category_id" />
</key-many-to-one>
<key-many-to-one name="tbDocument" class="project.db.TbDocument">
<column name="doc_id" />
</key-many-to-one>
</composite-id>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
instead of
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<composite-id name="id" class="project.db.TbMatchingId">
<key-property name="categoryId" type="long">
<column name="category_id" />
</key-property>
<key-property name="docId" type="long">
<column name="doc_id" />
</key-property>
</composite-id>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

the checkbox in eclipse is used by jdbcconfiguration which is the guy doing the actual reverse engineering from the database to the hbm (hibernate meta model)

(hbm2hbmxml, hbm2java etc. is just "dumping" whatever that is inside this hbm)

The option for disabling basic typed composite ids is not exposed on ant since I don't really think it is a good option (key-many-to-one has downsides and if it its "too-easy" to get people might forget ;)

...but i also like to provide options, but then we must at least find a better shorthand name i think ;)
