Hello,

Can anyone please point me to an "Annotationconfiguration for Dummies" guide somewhere?

I'm trying to reverse engineer a table in a database and produce an annotated java file instead of hbm.xml + java.

So I run annotationconfiguration (instead of jdbcconfigutarion) with hbm2java task:

<hibernatetool destdir="...">
<annotationconfiguration configurationfile="hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
<hbm2java/>
</hibernatetool>

Is this the right way of doing this? I do not have hbm!

I know it expects a name of the class and package in hibernate.cfg.xml,
but I need to tell it the name of the table to reverse-engineer in order to create a class.

If it actually expects the class to exist, how am I supposed to create it - with jdbcconfiguration? But then I'd HAVE to create .hbm.xml, which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I dont remember anywere we state that you HAVE to generated hbm when using a jdbcconfiguraiton.

annotationconfiguration you use if you already have something annotated.

to reverse engineer you use <jdbcconfiguration> and then <hbm2java ejb3="true"/>

and its acutally also listed as an example in the docs http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools ... .html#gen8
