Hi,

Does anyone know how to make seam generate-entities annotate the variables and not the methods when I reverse engineer from my mysql database.

I want the annotation to be on the member variable in the class like this, but it doesn't make it like this.

Code:

@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "caldav_server_id")
private CaldavServer caldavServer;

Any help greatly appreciated,

Thanks, Philip

update the templates in hibernate-tools to do one or the other depending on a property and submit a patch since it would be cool to have.

Hi,

I don't know where to start. I downloaded it from subversion and looked in hibernatetools\tools\src\templates\hbm and I think I have to change something in there but not sure which file to change.

No, /hbm is for the hbm.xml files. You want to be looking in /pojo which is for the pojo generation.

In here look for files with names that contains field or properties.

Some of the generation for annotation is actually also done in java code, but for moving the annotations to fields instead of getters I don't think that will be relevant.
