[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HBX-1129) <table-filter> and <table> tags too far away from each other

<table-filter> and <table> tags too far away from each other ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HBX-1129 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-1129 Project: Hibernate Tools Issue Type: New Feature Components: reverse-engineer Affects Versions: 3.2.4.GA Environment: Irrelevant Reporter: Joachim Durchholz For reasons of performance (reverse engineering is slow on Oracle) and keeping the list of relevant tables under control (only 10% of tables in the database are used in Java code), I'm using a separate <table-filter> directive for each table. This gives me a hibernate.reveng.xml like this: <table-filter match-name="TABLE1" /> <table-filter match-name="TABLE2" /> ... (dozens of additional declarations) <table name="TABLE1"> ... </table> <table name="TABLE2"> ... </table> ... (dozens more) This means that the information pertaining to any specific table is distributed over two separate blocks in hibernate.reveng.xml, the <table-filter> block and the <table> block. I see two approaches to improve this: a) Relax the DTD so that <table-filter> and <table> can be freely mixed. This would allow to have a single block per file, and make empty separator lines between per-table blocks useful. b) Automatically import a table if it's mentioned in a <table> tag (or in a foreign key) and wasn't imported through a <table-filter> tag already. -- 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
