Hello

I would like generate code and generate tests for this code simultaneously.

I am use hibernate tool from ant task with jdbcconfiguration, i only generate entities (<hbm2java...>), and i would like generate test for this entities...

My questions are, is posible?? and how to do this??

Thanks!!!!!

Probably you eant to generate some class for each entity, then custom template could help you.
Go into hibernate-tools.jar and find existing templates (.ftl files) which are used when you run your reverseengeneering. Use them as a start point for creation your custom templates.
How to attach them see here: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.0.0.GA/en ... l/ant.html.

Thank you Dmitry and vyemialyanchyk but my intention was generate code with hibernate.reveng.xml, MyStrategy.java and templates, but the less change the templates better, i would like change the configuration files. If in the future, hibernate change pojo/pojo.ftl.... it's a problem for me.

Thanks!!!!

If you are worring about such future just copy the templates from hibernate-tools.jar and use them as custom.

Thanks Dmitry.

I know how to do it, but the developers don't know how... They are going to have to configure two files for their developments, if besides this they have to configure the templates.... is hard for them.

Thanks again!!!

What tests is it exactly you think that can be generated without customization ?

Hi Max, sorry for i don't response yesterday...

I want generate unit test for my generated entities (entity per table).

Especially I would like to check that all fields of an entity remain in the database.

Thanks!!!!

Ok, and I don't see how tests that is generated at the same time as you reverse engineer would
test anything related to that since the code is generated based on the columns being there.

If you want to test that the mapping has all fields, then using something like schemavalidator (built-in to hibernate) would be an better option.

btw. if we wanted to generate test code for the entities to persist them through hibernate then we
would need to know what kind of data goes into them and generate a sane object model - to do that requires
some (heavy duty) magic.

In case your object model is super trivial (i.e. no relationships) some of this is trivial to generate but then
again what is the value of those beyond what schemavalidator can do ? If you do find value for that then
you can simply create some custom templates to use with your metamodel to generate the testing you think
make sense.

Thanks Max.

I didn't response you before because my level of english is very bad (i think that is obvious for the way of writing ), and i didn't understand you.

Only say you that the objetive was generate code and test and throw the tests every days and check that the data base had not changed, but i will have to do the tests to hand.

Thanks!!!

thanks mate for sharing this...Its should be very helpful to me...
