Prefix for each class

Hi,

I have a question. I want to add a prefix to each classname. I mean that I have the table Test and I want to get the java class DatabaseTest. I already tried it with the reverse engineering strategy but it didn't worked. The result was that not a single class was produced. Here is the code I tried:

Code:

   public String tableToClassName(TableIdentifier tableIdentifier)
    {
        return "Database" + super.tableToClassName(tableIdentifier);
    }

Hibernate version: 3.2 beta 8

Name and version of the database you are using: Oracle 10g

Ciao Carina

I wanted to do something like that, I just did it in the ant tank though...
For example:

Code:

      <copy todir="${tools.dir}/hibernate/generated/tmp" includeemptydirs="false" overwrite="true">
         <fileset dir="${tools.dir}/hibernate/generated/uk/ltd/goFurther/domain/data">
            <include name="*.*" />
         </fileset>
         <globmapper from="*.java" to="*Data.java"/>
      </copy>

That seems to be the same stuff that I want to do. But I don't use the Ant task. Or better I know nothing about this Ant task. Till now I thought I would not need to use it directly...or is it used by hibernate tools as part of the reverse engineering function?! (Didn't get the way it exactly works by now...)

I believe that tableToClassName should return a *fully-qualifed class name*, so your method will to build "Databasecom.company.Employee".

Yes, exactly that happened. I just didn't noticed first because in my source folder are a lot of packages.
Knowing this I found a solution. It's not pretty, but it works.

Code:

public String tableToClassName(TableIdentifier tableIdentifier) {
        String name = super.tableToClassName(tableIdentifier);
        return name.subSequence(0, name.lastIndexOf(".")+1) + "Database" + name.subSequence(name.lastIndexOf(".")+1, name.length());
    }

You don't need to use an ant task to do revenge (but you can if you want), I find it nicer.

Ant gives you more fine grained control over the reverse engineering process. If you don't need that kind of control, or don't have the time to learn Ant, then use the console.
