Hi,
I would like to reverse engineering a db (no matter wich and which version) generating pojo, dao and hbm. This is easy :)

I would like NOT to have date changed every single time, beacause it can be really annoying when using versioning tools.

For dao generation I resolved this way: I mad dir Plugins, put inside dir dao and inside daohome.ftl (downloaded from the net); I then removed tag {date} from template and everything was fine.

I tried to do the same with hbm, making dir hbm, putting inside hibernate-mapping.hbm.ftl, then removing tag date. It actually did not write the date, but it generated almost empty HBMs, with just header inside. Then I got all the array, bag, column, component, filter-def, etc. .hbm.ftl stuff and put them in the hbm dir, leaving them unchanged. Nothing different: almost empty hbms.

So, what is the best (on simplicity-efficiency-flexibility axis) way to perform the following task: reverse engineering generic db obtaining pojo, hbm and dao files with slight changes from default result?

Thanks in advance

just only copy of the ftl files you need to change the rest will be picked up from the default location.

Thanks for your quick reply,

I tried to do that, but it did not work out, making only empty hbms, maybe I got the wrong ftl files? Could you please point me out where must I get them (both for hbm and pojos)?

hibernate-tools.jar/hbm/*.ftl

and

hibernate-tools.jar/pojo/*.ftl
