Code generation ui should be able to be configured to use same exporter with different parameters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-270 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-270 Project: Hibernate Tools Issue Type: New Feature Components: hbm2java Affects Versions: 3.0alpha Environment: Hibernate tools 3.0 alpha 1 Reporter: daviddickinson(a)fastmail.co.uk Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2.beta11 The old hbm2java tool could be configured to use 2 renderers, in order to generate an abstract base class, and also an empty concrete class, for each mapping file. This was achieved by using something like this in the config.xml passed to the hbm2java tool: <codegen> <generate prefix="Base" renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer"/> <generate renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer"> <param name="generate-concrete-empty-classes">true</param> <param name="baseclass-prefix">Base</param> </generate> </codegen> This cannot yet be done with the current Hibernate 3.0 alpha 1 code-generation wizard. It would be really useful if there was either :- - some way of specifying an external config.xml file to the wizard, or - a means of adding/configuring code renderers and setting their parameters via the wizard UI.
