[jboss-user] [JBoss Tools] - Re: Hibernate Tools question

Create a reveng.xml file that sets <meta> for the columns you need it for. Example of that can be found at https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-tools/blob/master/src/test/org/hib... https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-tools/blob/master/src/test/org/hib... Mind you that reveng.xml is "additative" meaning you can just specify the column name, everything else will come from jdbc. If that is not enough you would need to implement a ReverseEngineeringStrategy that has a method similar to: public Map columnToMetaAttributes(TableIdentifier identifier, String column) {                     Map result = new HashMap<String, MetaAttribute>();                       MetaAttribute ma = new MetaAttribute("default-value");                       String defaultValue = logicToFigureOutValueBasedonTableColumn(identifier, column);                       ma.addValue(defaultValue);                     result.put("default-value", ma);                     return result; } -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/759541#759541] Start a new discussion in JBoss Tools at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
