Thanks for your reply. Comments inline.

I am using the default reverse engineering strategy. Here is the code:

cfg = new JDBCMetaDataConfiguration();
                OverrideRepository or = new OverrideRepository();
                Configuration c = cfg.configure(confFile); // hibernate.cfg.xml
                or.addFile(revengFile); // hibernate.reveng.xml
                DefaultReverseEngineeringStrategy strategy = new
                                                            DefaultReverseEngineeringStrategy();
                settings = new ReverseEngineeringSettings(strategy);
                settings.setDefaultPackageName(helper.getPackageName()); // sets package name
                strategy.setSettings(settings);
                cfg.setReverseEngineeringStrategy(strategy);
                cfg.readFromJDBC();

And the hibernate.reveng.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-reverse-engineering PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Reverse Engineering DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-reverse-engineering>
<table-filter exclude="false" match-catalog=".*" match-name="HOTEL" match-schema="TRAVEL"/>
<table-filter exclude="false" match-catalog=".*" match-name="PERSON" match-schema="TRAVEL"/>
<table-filter exclude="false" match-catalog=".*" match-name="TRIP" match-schema="TRAVEL"/>
<table-filter exclude="false" match-catalog=".*" match-name="TRIPTYPE" match-schema="TRAVEL"/>
</hibernate-reverse-engineering>

Only 4 tables are selected as part of the hibernate.reveng.xml. But pojos and mappings are generated for all the tables in the TRAVEL db. Also the selected 4 tables are not dependent on the other tables in the schema.

Is it possible pojo generator/mapping generator is reading all the tables in the schema and ignoring the "selected" tables defined in reveng.xml. And hence creating the additional java and mapping files.

I would appreciate if you can tell me what I am missing.

Thanks - G
