All,

Using the Middlegen/Hib Plugin I'd like to generate a one-to-many mapping where the "one" side of the mapping simply uses the foreign key value rather than the object referenced by the foreign key.

So in the Midgen/Hib generated-prefs.properties file:

In the tables section:

hibernate.tables.tableB.columns.tableA_id.java-name=tableAId
hibernate.tables.tableB.columns.tableA_id.java-type=int

In the relations section:

relations.tableB-tableA.tableA-has-tableB.enabled=true
relations.tableB-tableA.tableA-has-tableB.target-many=false

So for the generated object representing "tableA" which is the "one" side of the one-to-many, this is generated:

private com.my.package.name.TableB tableB; // the object

What I would like to accomplish is this (ie, use the key itself rather than the obj):

private int tableBId; // the int table id

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

Relationships are done through the objects. You can choose not to map a relationship so you will just have the foreign key as a property. You will need to then get the collection using HQL. Middlegen looks for the foreign key constrains so kill the constraints then the foreign key will be mapped as a property.
