Is it possible to NOT generate the full constructor when using hbm2java.CodeGenerator? We do not use those full constructors internally and the Hibernate documentation mentions only a default constructor is needed for a persistent class.

(BTW CodeGenerator is a fantastic tool.)
Thanking all responders in advance.

don't think it is possible right now....but add a jira on it and assign me - then it will get there someday.....faster if ya' provide a patch ;)

Max,

Thanks for the super quick response. We'll be looking into doing the patch sometime this week as we really need it for our subclassing. I.e having generated base object(1) -> hand built base object(2) -> generated subclassed object(3) ->hand built subclass object(4) forces us undesirably to put in the full constructor into the hand built base object class(2) because of the generated full constructor in the generated subclassed object(3) calls super.
