Hi people,

I would like to know how to merge the work of a reversestrategy class with with a revengfile.

I mean, i wrote a reversestrategy class which will be used by other people, but they have to filter their tables (idealy with the reveng file system).

So is it posible to use a reveng file from the reversestrategy class, or any ohter way?

Thnak you by advance,
Regards,
Slimane Médini.

OK, i see that what i request is already done, and i understood the DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy.

i rode l.50 from org.hibernate.tool.ant.JDBCConfigurationTask

Code:

      if(revengFiles!=null) {
         OverrideRepository or = new OverrideRepository();
         
         String[] fileNames = revengFiles.list();
         for (int i = 0; i < fileNames.length; i++) {
            or.addFile(new File(fileNames[i]) );
         }
         strategy = or.getReverseEngineeringStrategy(defaultStrategy);         
      }
      
      if(reverseEngineeringStrategyClass!=null) {
         strategy = loadreverseEngineeringStrategy(reverseEngineeringStrategyClass, strategy);         
      }

yes, if you are reveng class has a constructor it gets any existing reveng strategy it can delegate too if it wants ;)

The reveng strategy then work likes a chain-of-command pattern and works from most specific (your reveng strategy), through any reveng.xml and finally the default behavior.
