Hibernate tools version: 3.2.0 beta 6

(Using the tools inside Eclipse)

I am a bit of a noob but I just spend a couple hours trying to find this answer in the forums with no luck so hopefully some kind soul will point me in the right direction. I want to use the hibernate tools to generate simple POJOs from my database. It generated some fantastic HBMs (which is very nice) but now I want to generate POJOs to go with those HBMs and I am having trouble.

When I choose the POJOs option it generates 2 files for each HBM for some strange reason. One appears to be the actual POJO but it is named with Id at the end. The other is named the way I would expect but has only one property (which is the matching POJO class with Id at the end).

Is there a way I can get the HIbernate Tools to just generate the value objects with the right name and not generate the odd wrapper classes?

I suspect it can be done with templates but after looking through the ftl files I am even more confused than I was before. I am hoping that if the answer is templates that someone who already wrote them (if they exist) would possibly post their templates.

Thanks

Just only check mark the 'Domain model' exporter in the "Hibernate Code Generation' Exporter tab.[/img]

looks to me like your tables does not have any primary key defined and thus the tools will choose to use all of the columns as the identifier.

solution: define primary keys.

You're right. There are no primary keys on the views (which are something that is controlled by another group) so it looks like the tools worked correctly and I just didn't know enough about them.

Thanks Max. :-)
