I would like to exert some control over the Hibernate mapping files that are generated by Middlegen.

Specifically:
2.0.dtd -> 3.0.dtd

type=java.math.BigDecimal -> type="long"

<generator class="assigned"/> ->
<generator class="sequence">
<param name="sequence"XXX_SEQ</param>
</generator>

Add <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
<meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
for specific attributes.


I've read the Middlegen docs and revised my Ant target accordingly as follows:

<target name="generateSchemaMapping">
<middlegen appname="ConnectHub"
prefsdir="${codegen.rootdir}"
gui="false"
databaseurl="${database.url}"
driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="${database.username}"
password="${database.password}"
schema="${database.schema}">

<hibernate destination="${metadata.dir}"
package="org.ca"
standardGeneratorScheme="sequence"
standardGeneratorArg="${0}_SEQ"
equalsHashcode="true"/>

</middlegen>
</target>

but the standardGeneratorArg attribute seems not to be recognised.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Use the CVS version for the updates for H3.0 generation.
Once you have that get back to the thread if you are still finding problems.

Could you be a little more explicit please as it's not clear to me what you are recommending.

Do you mean that I need to check out the latest version of Hibernate Tools from CVS and build it?

I'm currently using 3.1 beta 4 - is it in fact the case that the Hibernate Tools are still very much under development and I might therefore be better waiting for the actual 3.1? If so, when is that expected to be available?

Thanks
David

eh? The question was for Middlegen and not Hibernate tools - they are different beasts. If you are using Middlegen I was suggesting you use the CVS version as I commited quite a few changes that have not been released as yet. Normally I would have initiated a release well before now but I have been busy with life/work etc. Once CVS version is applied and there are further issues/questions; I will try to help further.

Sorry, brain failure on my part - too many tools, too few brain cells!

LOL - I can totally understand.
