Exporters : Clarify template context and classes responsabilities ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-429 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-429 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Task Components: documentation Versions: 3.2.0.cr1 Reporter: Michelle Baert As you said in HBX-745, there's an importContext problem again when trying to use the query parameter types from templates. I built another exporter with an ImportContext field added, and automatic destination package detection, and tried to see if it couldn't be done directly in Generic Exporter. It arises that through the exportClasses() method, the destination package may change from one mapped class to another. But difficulties come when confusion is made between referred mapped class and newly generated referring class. The freemarker datamodel is filled with tons of properties, objects and methods for which it is very difficult to find out which deals with what. My (sub)project of building new templates leads to reverse engineer alone too much of the *uncommented* code of the actual release. Maybe defining classes responsabilities could lead to some changes in project architecture, and allow to clean-up many work-arounds, but, ;) , this is not *my* role . But it should worth it :) Best regards, Michelle Baert -- 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
