Hello,
I am trying to generate java code from dabase schema. I am not sure why I am not getting list of tables from the database. I am eclipse IDE with hibernate plugin & features.

Note: I am able to access the database user and table using SQL Plus. I did ensure that ORCL is running on port 1521.

Here is my config file
hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">false</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">bookdemo</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">
jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ORCL</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">bookdemo</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Please help me in understanding the concept of Reverse Engineeing in hibernate.

Thanks,
Adepu

you don't tell if you see any errors or if it just seem to sit there fetching tables "forever" ....since your config indicates that on oracle it will actually read you complete db, where as you probably rather would have it to look only in your specific schema.

theeasiest way of doing that is to specify default_schema to your username (uppercase is important with oracle)
