Alex Kalinovsky commented on HBX-733:
-------------------------------------
I have submitted a patch more then 2 months ago. We are not in production using the code
generator and it works GREAT! It's easy to maintain the generated model objects and
DAOs because we generate a regeneratable base class and a customizable subclass. Any
database changes can be synched up. Same is done for DAOs. I've added generation of
Mock DAOs and unit tests so our entire persistence layer is generated. Saved a ton of
time.
I am also generating POJO services synched up with DAOs and Spring context that wires it
all together.
I don't know why the patch hasn't been accepted yet because while it may not be
perfect, it is clearly much better then the current DAO generation. I was willing, and I
am still willing, to integrate it into Hibernate Tools.
 Updated DAO code generation as discussed over the email

      Project: Hibernate Tools
         Type: Patch 
   Components: hbm2java, ant
     Versions: 3.1alpha5
  Environment: I have tested the patch on the latest version of Hibernate Tools I got from
SVN 2 weeks ago.
     Reporter: Alex Kalinovsky
  Attachments: dao_generation.patch
 Original Estimate: 3 days
         Remaining: 3 days
 This should be a complete implementation of DAO generation according to the design we
have discussed over the email. I've tested this on our project so the DAOs should be
good to go, but of course a more diverse testing would be needed before releasing it to
public. I'm open for recommendations and suggestions, so I see this as the first
draft. Below is a list of files and comments. Contact me at kalinovsky(a)yahoo.com.
 src/java/org/hibernate/tool/hbm2x
     DAONewExporter.java     This class is coded mainly to accept additional parameters
such as dao package name and provide flexible
                             file naming that is used by Ant task. It would not be needed
if I integrate my changes into GenericExporter.
