Hello, I have what I hope is a simple question.
I'm just getting into Hibernate & Spring. I created a few little simple applications to get aquainted with the technologies.

Now, going on to a much larger project, I decided to investigate MiddleGen to create some of the files for me. I've got it creating the .hbm.xml files without too many problems, and I've got it creating the Business Objects and DAO classes with a few problems.

I was going to modify the .vm template file for the dao and bo objects, and in the .vm file there is a lot of Velocity code. Now, here's my question:

The first line says:
package ${table.package};

Where exactly is the variable table.package defined? There are a number of places where other variables (${plugin.hibernateDAO.exception} for instance) that show up in the generated file as ${plugin.hibernateDAO.exception} not the variable value.

If I knew where those we being created I could investigate and really customize things like I wanted, but being new, I really don't know where that information is coming from.

I really appreciate any help anyone can provide to me. Thanks for helping a new guy and I will promptly answer any questions posted.

The Velocity documentation (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/docs/user-guide.html) and the MiddleGen mailing list and archive (http://boss.bekk.no/boss/middlegen/mail-lists.html) is probably a better place to get more information regarding your problem than this forum.

Thanks, I was just at a loss, and didn't know where to turn.
I appreciate the links, I will investigate.
