Is it possible to exclude "field-description" from

Hibernate Tools version: 3.1.0 Beta 4

I have the following code that's produced by Middlegen 2.1 (I know it's old school, but I don't believe the Hibernate Tools project supports generating XDoclet-enhanced POJOs).

Code:

    <id
        name="catId"
        type="java.lang.Integer"
        column="cat_id"
    >
        <meta attribute="field-description">
           @hibernate.id
            generator-class="native"
            type="java.lang.Integer"
            column="cat_id"

        </meta>
        <meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
        <generator class="native" />
    </id>

When I use hbm2java, I end up with the XDoclet tags on my fields, as well as my getter methods. Is it possible to exclude them from the fields w/o hacking the Velocity template? Here's what I've done to exclude them for now. Changed PojoFields.vm from:

Code:

#foreach($field in $pojo.getAllPropertiesIterator())
#if($pojo.getMetaAttribAsBool($field, "gen-property", true))
 #if($pojo.hasMetaAttribute($field, "field-description"))
    /**
     $pojo.getFieldJavaDoc($field,0)
     */
 #end
    $pojo.getFieldModifiers($field) $pojo.getJavaTypeName($field, $jdk5) $field.name#if($pojo.hasFieldInitializor($field, $jdk5)) = $pojo.getFieldInitialization($field, $jdk5)#end;
#end
#end

To:

Code:

#foreach($field in $pojo.getAllPropertiesIterator())
#if($pojo.getMetaAttribAsBool($field, "gen-property", true))
    $pojo.getFieldModifiers($field) $pojo.getJavaTypeName($field, $jdk5) $field.name#if($pojo.hasFieldInitializor($field, $jdk5)) = $pojo.getFieldInitialization($field, $jdk5)#end;
#end
#end

Is there a more elegant solution?

what is inelegant about you adjusting the templates to what you want ?

Nothing really, actually it's quite easy. However, it's not very maintainable on my part since I'll have to modify them for every release. Unless, of course, there's a way to override the default template with one of my own.

Thanks,

look for templatepath in the docs.
