Currently I am using this tool to generate ddl by using mapping documents.

Actually we have a set of standards we need to follow like.. for table name it should start with "PTM_" etc.

Let's assume that in the mapping document I have specified table name as "TEST". Is it possible to read all standards from a file and verify the mapping documents, if not following, apply the standards and finally generate ddl?

For examples in the above specified case...
eventhough I have specified table name as "TEST" in the mapping file, is it possible to generate the ddl with "PTM_TEST"(As per standards). I mean with out modifying mapping document?

I appreciate your quick response.

-Thanks

You need a custom NamingStrategy, see the documentation.

Thanks for your reply. Actually documentation doesn't provide much details. Can you please give me an example for how to use this NamingStrategy?

I tried by including net.sf.hibernate.cfg.NamingStrategy=ImprovedNamingStrategy.INSTANCE in hibernate.properties file... but I didn't see any difference.

-Thanks in advance

Read the source code of that class, implement your own, plug it in as described in the documentation.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have implemented NamingStrategy interface and was able to apply the standards for both table name and column names.

Is there any way to apply the standards on the rest? Like. Foreign key constraint etc.

I appreciate your quick response.

-Thanks

I don't think so, this is actually a feature request that makes sense. Put it in JIRA.
