Hi All,

I'm using:

Java 5
Eclipse 3.1.2
Hibernate Tools 3.2Beta5
Hibernate 3.0.5
JBoss 4.0.3SP1

and I've got reverse engineering working on a group of about thirty interrelated tables, generating both hbms and java files (with a lot of help from Max and other users of this forum!).

Overall, I've matched everything I used to do in Middlegen except one thing I just realized I really need, which is designating an attribute as the version attribute for automated optimistic locking enforcement by Hibernate.

I searched the forums for a mention of this, but didn't find anything in the context of hibernate tools reverse engineering. Is that implemented? Anyone else need that capability?

Thanks!
Vick

You mean something like this:
<version name="LockSequence" column="CIT_LOCKSEQ" type="int"/>

I am not sure if this type is what hibernate recommends; it just is an int in my existing schema that I am converting to hib now.

currently the tool automatically makes columns named VERSION or TIMESTAMP into either <version> or <timestamp>

it is not controllable via the reveng.xml yet, but is controllable via customizing your reverse engineering strategy.

That's just what we need! Here's the automatically generated output in my hbm file for my version column:

<version name="version" type="long">
<column name="VERSION" scale="0" not-null="true" />
</version>

Thanks!
