[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-971) generate class-code without overwriting existing extra class-code

generate class-code without overwriting existing extra class-code ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-971 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-971 Project: Hibernate Tools Issue Type: Improvement Components: hbm2java Affects Versions: 3.2beta9 Reporter: Christoph Mayerhofer I'm trying to re-generate my class-code from my database-schema without overwriting existing methods from my pojos. I think this isn't possible yet because the java-files are always overwritten after each generation. But there are 2 possibilities to get rid of this problem which are not very convenient in my opinion: (1) subclass the generated class with the @MappedSuperclass annotation and anotate the Subclass with @Entity and @Table. (2) modify the generation templates or use the MetaAttribute "classCode" within the ReverseEngineeringStrategy. The best approach would be that the generation scripts do not touch the extra class-code from the pojos. Perhaps someone of the developers can verify if this would be possible.
