HBM2Java generates Interfaces for table and column names. --------------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-422 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-422 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Improvement

Components: hbm2java Environment: hibernate tools 3.1 alpha 5 Reporter: sergiu gordea Priority: Minor Attachments: patch.txt I updated the Hibernatetooltask and PojoExporter class in order to generate an Interface for each mapped class. The interface contains the table in whic the class is stored and the column names for each property. I created IPojo.vm velocity template for implementing it. I think this is an usefull feature, and it will be good practice to use this constants instead of hard coded column names when querying the database. In this way, any change in the database structure will be catched by java compiler instead of trowing an exception on runtime. I created a new configuration and I uncommented the testHbm2JavaConfiguration() method. I use as input a file from /test/input .. folder. Maybe the functionality can be reviewed and improved by one of the developers who knows better the core code and introduce it in the next realease. I'll be very happy to see it integrated. Maybe some documentation will be needed to be updated too. Best, Sergiu
