Hibernate version: 3.0.5

Name and version of the database you are using: MS Sql Server 2003


We have a situation where we DO NOT want any foreign keys to be included into the mapping files. I was trying to use a customized reverse engineering strategy to get around this problem by returning a 'null' list in getForeignKeys().

public class CustomReverseEngineeringStrategy extends DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy
{

/**
* Default constructor
* @param arg0
*/
public CustomReverseEngineeringStrategy(ReverseEngineeringStrategy arg0) {
super(arg0);
}

/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy#getForeignKeys(org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.TableIdentifier)
*/
@Override
public List getForeignKeys(TableIdentifier arg0)
{
return null;
}

returning null means "do the default".

just return an empty list instead AFAIK.
