Hello everyone!

I need to access a Database using C# and Java (for Java, readonly is sufficient). Right now I've got an application in C# that uses NHibernate as it's Database abstraction. The objects are defined in C#-Code using annotations.

Now, whats the best way to use this database from within Java? Write XML-Files for the entities and create the code for Java and C# on this base? Export the C#-Entities into XML and create Java-classes from this XML-Definitions? Is it at all possible without writing tons of code?

Right now I tend to choose the second way as I prefer annotating the code to writing XML and generate code from those definitions.

Thx for information!
Chris
