I saw a number of questions on the forum about a similar issue to this but not quite in the same way.

Say I have tables in a parent-child relationship, like Order and LineItem. The LineItem table has a foreign key to Order in a field called ORDER_ID_FK.

In the Middlegen UI, I removed the direction arrow on both ends. In the output I expected a field called orderIdFk to be created that is a <property> with type int, instead of creating the <many-to-one> relationship. However, the resulting output did not have this field included at all.

In other words, I am trying to specify fields that are FKs to simply be mapped as a <property> with type int instead of <many-to-one>. I also only want to do this for specific fields in specific tables, not for all foreign keys in the db. Is it possible to set this up that if a foreign key exists and all arrows are removed in the UI that property tags are generated instead of leaving that field out the resulting generated hbm file completely? I still want to get just the value of the field!

Hmmmm... I will have to try it our but it is not something that I had tested. It needs to be confirmed but it could be a missing feature :-). Put an entry into JIRA under tools and I will have a look at it.

Ok,

I created the issue in the JIRA in http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... key=HB-788

Thanks,

Thanks I noticed it.
