Hi

Well my question is pretty much stated in the subject. In the first place I modified my generated hbm.xml file by hand to apply the ordering I wanted on a given set. But then after accidentally re-launching Hibernate Tools, the file got overwritten (which makes sense) and I realized it probably was not best practice to do so.

However I couldn't find how to define this kind of setting in reveng.xml, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

As a property in your Set:

Thanks for your answer. This is exactly what I did in my generated hbm.xml file. However my question is, is there a way to tell Hibernate Tools to automatically add this property when it generates that file, so that I don't need to modify it by hand after generation, and so that my change doesn't get overwritten whenever I need to re-generate the hbm's?

currently there is no direct api for this (we don't expose *all* properties in reveng.xml since then it would be a hbm.xml file ;)

But you can adjust the .ftl templates to do whatever you want generated.
