Is there a way to ignore the foreign keys of all tables from my database ?

I

Edit the hibernate.vm velocity script and remove all the foreign key processing from it. It will result in a small script indeed.

You will have to still pickup the foreign keys but only generate a property rather than the relationship. All the information is there. Alternatively you could add some code and collect all the properties using a custom pedicate. Plenty examples exist in the code already.

There is code in the plugin that collects the data based on a predicate. For example, I use a predicate on the column data to collect all of composite keys primary keys.

The documentation in the Middlegen web page is geting old. Recently added some new puglins and other changes. It does need updating - a valid goal is to be as good as Hibernates. It might night reach that level but it will be improving - small changes have already been made - more to come. The best place is the look is at the code.

Where are the Hibenate plugin to Middeglen sources ? In matter of fact, do you have the mean of the variables used in .vm ?

#foreach($relationshipRole in $table.primaryKeyRoles) ??
#foreach( $columnMap in $relationshipRole.targetRole.columnMaps ) ??
#foreach ($column in $table.notKeyColumns ) ???

the biggest problem to change the .vm is no documentation and no sources available. I was wondering if you have some information about that.

Thanks

The source for Middlegen (and all the plugins) is in source forge.
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=36044.

The vm file is a velocity script. Velocity is a Jakarta project - see it's docs for a description of the syntax.

Where I find all attributes generated by Middlegen ?

What are the components that I can use in .vm ? I

$table is the HIbernateTable class instance in the HIbernate plugin directory.
$columnMap is a list of all the column instance classes for the predicate.
$relationshipRole is an instanmce class the represents the relationship between the tables.

$table.primaryKeyRoles is a method call on the HibernateTable class to get the list of primaryKeyRoles. Should be able to work it out from the source.

Can you start a new topic and include a simple DDL and mapping document so we can see what might be wrong.
