Controlling reverse engineering limitations

I have downloaded the trunk from svn.

I am going to change the collection type from Set to List

I have reach the file JDBCBinder.java, the method bindOneToMany

I have found a comment

Quote:

'// MASTER TODO: allow overriding collection type'

Are You guys going to work on it soon?

Any address I would need for working on it?

Regards

List requires an index which requires some extra info in reveng.xml/reverse engineering strategy.

It has not been implemented, if you want to work on it then sure go ahead. No special address needed.

Thanks Max.

It was necessary just to change mapping.Set(rc) by mapping.List(rc)

The advantage of having a List is that is ordered when I add elements to the list from the view.

that change wouldn't be enough would it ? Which column do you use for the index storage ?

...or are you just asking for mapping as a <bag> ?

Hi Max, I am using the attribute just as a bag.

I work on the List in the view (jsf). (adding and removing items in the list).

Actually, I think the solution is not elegant, it would be better if i could add an attribute (tag) in seam-gen.reveng.xml (hibernate.reveng.xml).
For Applying this change, without recompiling and creating the jar again. It would be more useful for more people

I agree - so feel free to submit a patch in jira that allow it to be controlled in reveng.xml/reverse engineering strategy and we can get it into the main core.
