Hi,

I just downloaded the jboss tools which include the Hibernate Code Generator and now I have a few questions.

1. If I use "reverse engineer from JDBC", it overwrites all of my code? Does that mean I can do it only once and after that I will have to add any DB Schema changes by hand?

2. How can I define that I want to have different packages for each exporter? I want all the DAO go into mypackage.data and the domain code into mypackage.data.whatever. I tried to define different output directories, but then the "import" statements are missing and I have to correct every file by hand.

Thanks,

Arne

For entities you can use the <meta attribute="generated-class"> to tell the tooling to generate a base class for those classes you want to add custom code to.

In the current version we are looking at using jmerge to make this easier.



The DAO templates doesnt support this very well :(

Hi max,

Thanks for your reply. Since I'm quite new all the Java / Hibernate / Spring development I'm still reading a lot of tutorials and so on. Looks like together with Spring you don't need most of the code anyway anymore :-)

Greets,

Arne

well, if you notice the code in the dao's doesn't do much else than call into the hibernate session API so with just bare bones Hibernate you don't need much of this code.
