Hi,

is it currently possible to change the generated Set type to Collection type?

So instead of writing:

private Set<Person> personSet = new HashSet<Person>(0);

generate:

private Collection<Person> personSet = new HashSet<Person>(0);

Obviously setters and getters should also change.

cheers,

Gerald

wow that is the first time someone asked me to generate more abstract than specific code - congratulations! :)

You can control the property type via <meta attribute="property-type">java.util.Collection</meta>

(in current release it won't handle the generics part automatically, but the SVN version does)

Thx for reply, but I need the other way round.

Think you mean putting the meta attribute to the mapping file. But we are generating mappings and pojos from db. I have already introduced a reveng.xml file, a custom strategy and templates.

Is it possible with some hacking in the templates?

cheers,

Gerald

currently we don't support injecting meta attributes into the reverse engineered result.

But hacking the templates is always possible ;)

Should be doable by just inserting the <meta attribute="property-type">java.util.Collection</meta> the right place in set.hbm.ftl

Many thanks, generating type of collection does work now.

A new problem is that supporting generics doesn`t work now, which actually works before in case of the sets.

First i generate mapping files through jdbc connection like this:



With help of your suggested template, generated mapping fragment looks like:



After it, pojos are generated from mappings with a simple configuration:



Result is really nice, but generics are not inserted:



instead of:



Any well-known reason why?

cheers,

Gerald
