Hibernate version:3.1.2 and Hibernate Tools Version: 3.1.0.beta4

Hi, I'm trying to reverse engineer from existing db schema. I need to control the class names. For example table "LA_ADDRESS" should be mapped to "Address" class instead of default class "laAddress". I tried following class

public class ExampleStrategy extends DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy {

public ExampleStrategy(ReverseEngineeringStrategy delegate) {
super(delegate);
}

public String tableToClasName(TableIdentifier table)
{

if(table.getName().startsWith("LA_"))
{
return table.getName().substring(3);

}
else
return super.tableToClassName(table);
}

}

anything wrong with above class?

Please help me in this. Thanks in advance.

looks alright to me - why ?

Max, I tried it in Eclipse using hibernate tools (3.1.0. beta4). I'm not sure whats the problem. Thanks.

so now it works ?

No. Its not working. I was just saying I tried it in Eclipse and it didn't work.

so what does not work mean ? and did you enter the correct strategy into the reveng strategy field ?

Yes, I enetered the correct class file name in reveng strategy field. It created "lpAddress" class, not the expected "Address" class to map the "LP_ADDRESS" table.

I also tried columnToPropertyName() method as below and it worked. But the tableToClasName() didn't.

public String columnToPropertyName(TableIdentifier table, String column) {
if(column.equals("id")) {
return "myid";
} else {
return super.columnToPropertyName(table, column);
}
}

tableToClasName != tableToClassName ;)
