Hi

I'm writing a web service which will return the result of a hibernate query, for example a list of Users.
I've used Hibernate Tools to create the classes and mapping files from the existing database.

The problem I have is that Hibernate Tools generates these one-to-many relationships. Normally this is no problem because it is lazy loaded, but when delivering this as the result of a web service all the one-to-many relationships will have to be loaded and transmitted to the client.

This leads to that nearly the entire database will be sent to the client.

Is there a way to tell hibernate tools not to generate one-to-many relations?


Thanks

2 ways:

in reveng.xml use a <foreign-key name="nameoftheforeignkeyyouwanttocontrol"> <one-to-many exclude="true"/>

OR

write a custom reveng strategy that returns false for excludeForeignKeyAsCollection

great, thanks!

i wrote my own reveng strategy class.
but returning false doesn't work, returning true does. that's probably what you meant.

yes.

A answer to keep you on your toes....ehm ;)
