Using 3.2beta7, I would like to tweak a few values in reverse-engineered hbm.xml files. I've traced through templates and java code and it seems that HibernateMappingGlobalSettings has the values I want to change. The test cases show how to do this from java code by calling setter methods, but I want to use a straightforward ant task, if possible.

Is there an approved method for doing this with configuration, or should I fall back to an ant task in java or jython and call setter methods myself?

Thanks much for the great tools. We're saving enormous pain by using them. :-)

you can change values from inside the tempaltes by accessing $hmgs.

what values is it exactly ?

I want to change "defaultCascade" in a way that preserves the current template logic. It seems like the templates are designed to be parameterized from the outside, so I didn't want to put the value directly in the template.

Are you implying that there's no way to manipulate the contents of $hmgs from ant? If that's the case, I'll just go ahead and munge the templates directly.

the templates is the best to munge them currently yes.
