Hello,

I would like to customize the settings of the hibernate-tools, thus I think of using the reveng.xml or an own class, that inherits of DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy.class. The aim is to

1. use increment as generator,
2. use int for the id's (not Integer) and
3. use equals() and hash() function
automatically for all entities.

My concrete problems:
- for 3.: <meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta> in XXX.hbm.xml has no effect when using the reveng.xml. Why?
- The hibernate.jar does not contain the DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy-class. Where can I get it?

Thank you

besides "increment" being the *worst* id generator to choose then if you want it for *all* keys then the reveng class is the best option.



depends on your db, but two choices:

1) implement columnToHibernateTypeName to return java.lang.Integer for the relevant columns

2) use a type-mapping that redefines it for all classes of integer columns you are using



You do know this is dangerous, right ? :)

in any case, only currently possible by putting <meta> into the templates.



huh? hbm.xml is not read then using reverse engineering so how should they have effect ? the hbm.xml is just generated.

If you want to generate pojo based on the generated hbm.xml's then do it in 2 steps.



its in hibernate-tools.jar, see docs for where it is.
