Hi all,

When using hibernatetools it's possible to use a parameter named templatepath. I would like to use it with freemarker templates.

I have read some freemarker tutorials and understand it ok. But my question appears in the integration between htools and freemarker.

For example: Supposing I have a template that writes:


How do I proceed to get from hibernatetools the name of the class that I should create?

Supposing I have an hibernate.cfg.xml with 50 hbm entries I think my template should be called 50 times. Am I right?

So, there are some "variable name" that I should use to replace "${CLASS_NAME_FROM_HTOOLS_GOES_HERE}" and get the name from hibernatetools?

I hope you can understand me.

I don't fully understand your question since that construct is illustrated in all the templates that generates java files.

Look in the templates.

Hi Max,

I was reading some messages in the forum... And I found some things, but I'm still confused.

For example:

Pojo is an "implicit object" that hibernatetool sends to my template or is something defined in freemarker?

Another example:
Is this a hibernatetool "implilcit object" or is something defined inside the template?

If it isn't a hibernate issue, excuse me for boring. Otherwise, where I can found a list with "variables" or "implicit object"(I don' know how to name it) like pojo. Where can I found a list with the "methods" of pojo like "getPackageDeclaration()", "importType()", and others?


Thank you.

pojo is a variable for a PojoClass which wraps a PersistentClass or a Component.

importType is a method on PojoClass that handles import statements via ImportContext.

regarding docs then put a request in jira for these so we won't forget.
