Hibernate Freemarker context variables List

Hi Forum,

I'm starting to edit the default templates but i'm not being able to find any list of which class each context variable represent, does someone knows where i could find it ?

Here is the ones that i've found :

Post by Max somewhere in JIRA

Quote:

cfg = org.hibernate.mapping.Configuration
pojo = PojoClass
c2j = Cfg2JavaTool
c2h = Cfg2HbmTool
version = tool version number
date = DateTool
templates = used to e.g. create a file from a ftl template

importContext is something that is very much exporter and context dependent and not something that should be "global".
e.g. pojo's importContext is for that class and not for others. so if you need an additional importcontext you just create one.

hmgs = HibernateMappingGlobalSettings
clazz = ???? (I believe that's like pojo but just can't figure out what interface that should implement)
date = ???? (I didn't found any DateTool class)

If you found something relevant that should be here too please post it.

Thank's in advance

clazz is either a PersistentClass or a Component

guess its time to get the doc updated about this...anyone up for it ?

Yes, that will be a great help cause the documentation is very scarce about this, all the info is spread in the foruns.

i woul be willing to help
i would need the links etc and the format expected like you hibernate doc sutff or wiki.

I am impressed about this exporter and would like to hel make it clearler and easier to use.

I was able to use the eclpse ide tools to make the ren.eng file but got null pointer execeptions when i ran them ... but the ant task works ok now ... right click and fill in ant properties

check out hibernate tools from svn and look in the doc folder.

add the docs somewhere in there and submit a patch to our jira.
