Hi all,

I'm using the Hibernate Tools 3.2.0.beta8 in myeclipse. I try to use the pojo's template myeclipse_templates to generate the java class.

I customize the PojoTypeDeclaration.vm like this :

/**
$pojo.getClassJavaDoc($render.eval($ctx, "$pojo.getDeclarationName() generated by MyEclipse - Hibernate Tools"),0)
*/
$templates.Ejb3TypeDeclaration
$pojo.getClassModifiers() $pojo.getDeclarationType() $pojo.getDeclarationName() $pojo.getExtendsDeclaration() implements RulesEO

Is the custom file correct ?

In the hibernate code generation, I check on "Use Custom templates" and select the myeclipse template folder location (the parents folder that consist of pojo, hbm and dao folder.

my problem is when I generate the java class it didn't use the template.

Do I need to do some setting to enable the custom template in myeclipse ?

sorry, but I can't really help with myeclipse's version of the tooling.

I can tell you how it works in the real hibernte tools and here it would be freemarker and it should just work ;)

I try to use Eclipse plugin's Hibernate tools this time, and check on "Use custom template". I use the PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl (I get from hibernet-tools.jar) and place it in the my project folder. e.g \<MyService>\templates. The following is my custom PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl file :

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

And still it will refer to the old template...to generate my java class....May I know how to enable the custome template ? Thanks for your advice.

if you point to <MyService>/templates the file should be named:

<MyService>/templates/pojo/PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl

notice the pojo directory name.

Thanks a lot..It is working now ! Yes..hahaha !

The solution is :

1) creat the template folder e.g (C:\MyService).
2) if you wish to overide the PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl. Create a folder called pojo and put ur custom files inside. e.g :
=> C:\MyService\pojo\PojoTypeDeclaration.ftl
3) in the Hibernet tools ui, check on "Use custom templates", template directory: \MyService\ (note: dont put until pojo folder, it wont work !)......haha. good luck to all..hope it can help others...as well.
