Inserting another interface into generated POJOs

Hi,

I generate pojos from db, so it is not really meaningful to use the annotation way of customizing generated pojos.

I only want to add "implements Serializable, XYZ" as declaration to all of the generated Pojo classes. As default "implements Serializable" is generated, so
it should only be a need to put the other interface after it.

What is the most convenience way to do this? Is it really a need to write a whole new template file?

cheers,

Gerald

currently yes. And hey, it is not that bad:

Write a pojo/PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl that is a copy of the one from the jar and change it to:

Code:

/**
${pojo.getClassJavaDoc(pojo.getDeclarationName() + " generated by hbm2java", 0)}
 */
<#include "Ejb3TypeDeclaration.ftl"/>
${pojo.getClassModifiers()} ${pojo.getDeclarationType()} ${pojo.getDeclarationName()} ${pojo.getExtendsDeclaration()} implements Serializable, XYZ
