Hi,

1) is there the possibility to tell Artifact generator to implement the equals and hashcode methods too ? If I have to use a template in order to do this, doeas anyone have an example ?

2) is it already planned to update the java (pojo) classes with reverse engeeniring taking care not overwriting the changes made in the previous pojos classes (maybe with help of an abstract class) ?

Thank U very much and compliments for this product.

#1 the jdbc meta data information does contain enough information to decide which properties should be used for equals/hashcode.
(we might add that as something to do via the reveng.xml)

#2 hbm2java supports the <meta attribute="generated-class"> to do exactly this. This is a per-class thing and again we might add it as an global/class option via reveng.xml.

We also have a jira for adding global generation of a base class and concrete subclass (even though i hate this form since it creates twice as many classes as necessary ;)

Note: in cvs the hbm2java generates equals/hashcode when you speicfy <natural-id>
