Hi all,

I want to create a POJOClass from a String like "Person=name;String;10"
It is only an instance. It means that I have a Person POJO and it has a field. The name of the field is "name", type is "String" and length is "10". After that I will use the hibernate tools to generate the code using the POJOClass I created. In other words, I don't want to read from a POJO or database to create the "POJOClass"s :) I want to read from a single string like above.

Can you show me where to start creating a EntityPOJOClass.

Note: I want to do this to add some extra information to keep in EntityPOJOClass (for example ResourceBundle for the bean. So I will create a fully web application. (Maybe I can add a List to the EntityPOJOClass for each language to support localization)). I hope I explained what I need well.

Further Example:
"Person=name;String;10;[bundle_in_en,bundle_in_fr]". So I can read this String, to be able to get the ResourceBundles for the POJO,too.

public class MyEntityPOJOClass extends EntityPOJOClass{
Map bundleMap=new HashMap();

public void addToBundleMap(String language,String name){
bundleMap.put(language,name);
}
// now in my "ftl" templates i can use the bundleMap.
.....
}

Thanks in advance.

why not just have a separate tool class that reads some file with the additonal info ?

see http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools ... e/#d0e1374

It is another option and I will make a separate tool for this. But I want to read excel files to create my POJOs (And also persistance classes). I know there are a lot of versions, from db, annotated classes or xml files. And I want to add a new one with reading Excel files.

Maybe creating an "xml" file from excel and creating POJOs with the existing tools would be the better. I just need to hear what will you do to make this work.

Thanks.

read excel files to create pojo's ?! That'a *new* one ;)
