I have ran into a situation where many of the columns in the database that I am mapping to have int type columns that are nullable. ONe I ran into then was the mapping file set them as "int" and really I need type "Integer in order to stop Hibernate from complaining.

My feature request is that either middlegen determine this via DB META data or maybe a better solution is to always use java.lang.Integer or java.lang.Long, etc.

Thanks for the feature request. Middlegen core is providing the default selection values. I have been considering adding to the plugin smarter choices (such as this one) on top of the core provided mechanism. It is not that hard at all b ut need to be carefull that you not changing value that the users had selected (right or wrong). You are not the first to ask for this and yes I will do it (busy at the moment though).

In the mean time you can edit the properities file and replace int with integer with sed or some other tool.

Hello,

I recently implemented functionality to correct problems like this. My changes have been accepted and placed into CVS. You can check out the latest from CVS and use this new functionality.

I described how to use the new functionality in http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=925700&highlight=. See the message about JavaTypeMapper. The sample file was also placed in CVS under the file HibernateJavaTypeMapper.java in the plugins/hibernate dir. Just point to this file in your hibernate ant task.

Cheers,
Daniel

This addition represents the start of plugins for the Middlegen Hibernate Plugin :-) I am sure this will be expanded as we move forward.
