[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-849) Tools does not insert @Type in POJOs for user types defined in reveng.xml

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-849?page=co... ] Reiner Saddey commented on HBX-849: ----------------------------------- Until this issue is fixed (which in my opinion could take a considerable amount of time due to its complex build - if it only were a Maven project), it can be worked around yielding identical results and without any changes to released code - just by using all the hidden marvels Hibernate Tools has to offer. Within this description, I'm assuming that the JBoss Hibernate Eclipse plugin be used. # Create a utility Class (e.g. Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation) that constructs a @Type annotation from a pojo and one of its properties. # Within your Hibernate Code Generation Configuration, make this utility class available by selecting the Domain code exporter and adding a property named hibernatetool.Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation.toolclass stating the full name of the utility class (e.g. com.carano.fw.hibernate.util.reverse.Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation). # Within your Eclipse-project, create a templates/pojo directory and supply an enhanced version of Ejb3PropertyGetAnnotation.ftl that calls Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation. # Within your Hibernate Code Generation Configuration, check Use custom templates und select the templates directory (not the templates/pojo). Et voilà - your POJOS will have @Type for custom types :-) Your utility class should look similar to: {code:java} package com.carano.fw.hibernate.util.reverse; import org.hibernate.mapping.Property; import org.hibernate.tool.hbm2x.pojo.POJOClass; import org.hibernate.type.CustomType; import org.hibernate.type.Type; /** * Define Property hibernatetool.Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation.toolclass = * com.carano.fw.hibernate.util.reverse.Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation * * Use as ${Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation}.generateAnnTypeAnnotation(pojo,property) * within Ejb3PropertyGetAnnotation.ftl */ public class Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation { public String generateAnnTypeAnnotation(final POJOClass pojoClass, final Property property) { final Type type = property.getType(); if (type instanceof CustomType) { return " @" + pojoClass.importType("org.hibernate.annotations.Type") + "(type=\"" + type.getName() + "\")"; } else { return ""; } } } {code} Your enhanced Ejb3PropertyGetAnnotation.ftl should look similar to: {code} <#if ejb3> <#if pojo.hasIdentifierProperty()> <#if property.equals(clazz.identifierProperty)> ${pojo.generateAnnIdGenerator()} <#-- if this is the id property (getter)--> <#-- explicitly set the column name for this property--> </#if> </#if> <#if c2h.isOneToOne(property)> ${pojo.generateOneToOneAnnotation(property, cfg)} <#elseif c2h.isManyToOne(property)> ${pojo.generateManyToOneAnnotation(property)} <#--TODO support optional and targetEntity--> ${pojo.generateJoinColumnsAnnotation(property, cfg)} <#elseif c2h.isCollection(property)> ${pojo.generateCollectionAnnotation(property, cfg)} <#else> ${pojo.generateBasicAnnotation(property)} ${pojo.generateAnnColumnAnnotation(property)} ${Ejb3CustomTypeAnnotation.generateAnnTypeAnnotation(pojo,property)} </#if> </#if> {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
