Add extra code in DAOs

Hello,

I want to know how I can add extra code in the DAOs.

In the pojo class is simple:

Code:

<#if pojo.hasMetaAttribute("class-code")>  // The following is extra code specified in the hbm.xml files
${pojo.getExtraClassCode()}
  // end of extra code specified in the hbm.xml files
</#if>

I put this code in the daohome.ftl:

Code:

<#if pojo.hasMetaAttribute("dao-code")>
${pojo.getMetaAsString("dao-code")}
</#if>

And put this meta tag in the hbm.xml:

Code:

<meta attribute="dao-code">
           <![CDATA[
               /**
               * Add an airport to this country
               */
               public void addAirport(Airport airport) {
               airport.setCountry(this);
               if (airports == null) {
               airports = new java.util.HashSet();
               }
               airports.add(airport);
               }
           ]]>
</meta>

But it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

This is my target in the build.xml:

Code:

<target name="daoimplgen.template" depends="daogen.template">
      <hibernatetool destdir="${javagenerated}">
         <configuration configurationfile="${configgenerated}/hibernate.cfg.xml" />
         <hbmtemplate templatepath="templates" template="dao/daohome.ftl" filepattern="{package-name}/dao/impl/{class-name}HBDAO.java ">
            <property key="jdk5" value="true" />
            <property key="ejb3" value="false" />
            <property key="sessionFactoryName" value="SessionFactory" />
         </hbmtemplate>
      </hibernatetool>
   </target>

I have the 'templates' directory with all freemarker templates.

Any ideas?

Max, you are right. I read another hbm.xml file and not read the dao code.

Thanks for everything.
