[b]Hibernate version: 3.2.5/Hibernate Tools 3.2.0beta9a[/b]

Hi,

I am working on a legacy database with large and quite confusingly interrelated tables.

With the Hibernate Tools (hbm2hbmxml and hbm2java) I want to generate the persistence classes from the DB's DDL. The mapping files are generated correctly but the resulting POJOs cannot be compiled as the constructors have to many parameters (> 255) due to the number of fields and associations.

I thought I would not be the first one facing this problem but I could not find any topic similar to this one.

Thanks in advance.

damn - that's a lot of columns...sure you want them all ? :)

only way i know around that at the moment is to remove the constructor generation from the pojo/*.ftl files.

Hi Max,

thanks a lot for the answer. It's more or less the same I was told by a friend of mine. However, I was not sure, if Hibernate used this constructor internally, too.

Cheers,

no - they are just there for your pleasure.hibernate does not need them.
