meta-element <field-description> only for get*() ?

pat79 · **Posted:** Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:22 am

Hi,

I'm using the meta-element in my hbm-files for placing some javadoc/XDoclet in the generated pojo:

Code:

...
<property name="label" type="string" not-null="true" >
    <meta attribute="field-description">
        @spring.validator type="required"
    </meta>
</property>
...

This javadoc is only placed above the getter-methods of the pojo, eg. getLabel().

Is there a way to place it also or explicit above the setter-method of the pojo?

Thanks in Advance,
Patrick

change the corresponding .ftl template ;)

ok, thanks.

is there a way to tell the hbm2java-task or hibernate.cfg.xml to use my custom-template (eg. MyPojoPropertyAccessor.ftl)?

thanks, patrick

templatepath="pathtoyourcustomtemlates"

remember to name the exactly the same as the default ones.

e.g. pathto yourcustomtemlates/pojo/PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl

maybe stupid question... is it enough to locate only this special ftl (PojoPropertyAccessor) in "mytemplatefolder/" or do i have to copy the others *.ftl from the hibernate-tool.jar there?

my task look like:

Code:

template:

Code:

// Property accessors PojoPropertyAccessor
<#foreach property in pojo.getAllPropertiesIterator()>
<#if pojo.getMetaAttribAsBool(property, "gen-property", true)>
 <#if pojo.hasFieldJavaDoc(property)>    
    /**       
     * ${pojo.getFieldJavaDoc(property, 4)}
     */
 </#if>
    <#include "Ejb3PropertyGetAnnotation.ftl"/>
    ${pojo.getPropertyGetModifiers(property)} ${pojo.getJavaTypeName(property, jdk5)} ${pojo.getGetterSignature(property)}() {
        return this.${property.name};
    }

 <#if pojo.hasFieldJavaDoc(property)>    
    /**       
     * ${pojo.getFieldJavaDoc(property, 4)}
     */
 </#if>
    <#include "Ejb3PropertyGetAnnotation.ftl"/>
    ${pojo.getPropertySetModifiers(property)} void set${pojo.getPropertyName(property)}(${pojo.getJavaTypeName(property, jdk5)} ${property.name}) {
        this.${property.name} = ${property.name};
    }
</#if>
</#foreach>

but the task didn`t recognize my template. also no error messages...

you just need to copy the files you have changed.

And follow the pattern i used in my last posting with respect to templatepath and the actual path to the template.

hi max,

Quote:

should be

Code:

my ftl is located as follows:
${src}/hibernate/template/pojo/PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl

but it doesn't work...
maybe there is a classpath needed??

hope not to bother you... ;-)

probably because the original file is named pojo/PojoPropertyAccessors.ftl
and not pojo/PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl (small, but important detail ...notice the lack of s ;)
