I have table A, table B. I use hbm2hbmxml tool to generate mapping xml files. I get 2 hbm files namely A.hbm.xml and B.hbm.xml. Now my requirement is to create a single hbm file by name AB.hbm.xml instead of two hbm files. Is there a possibility. If yes, can someone please tell me how it can be done. I have 250 tables and I don't want 250 mapping files to be created. Please reply!!!

You can have more than class mapping in single <hibernate-mapping> node. Refer to http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibern ... ng-3.0.dtd for syntax. Different hibernate mapping files are created for readability purpose.



Thanks

Thank you sjhyam. But I want to do this while using <hbm2hbmxml> tool. This tool by default generates multiple hbm file. Is there a way to tell the tool to generate the mappings in a single mapping file?

No. you could do some xml transformation on the generated files if you feel like it.

Thanks Max. In that case Ill handle it in java.

Max, can you please tell me which .ftl file calls the set.hbm.ftl include. I want to tweek the file that call the <set> creation part.

I don't have it on this computer (a phone) to verify, but hibernate-tools.jar/hbm/set.hbm.ftl would be my first guess.

But set.hbm.ftl creates the set tag. I want the .ftl file that invokes the set.hbm.ftl file.
