bunzee, a default_schema in context of hibernate has nothing to do with xml. It refers to the notion of a database schema. until we get a new release from seam-gen or you start using the cvs build you will need to set it in the build.properties file manually. you set it by just having a line similar to: hibernate.default_schema= where refers to that sepcific schema you want to reverse engineer. If you don't speicfy one seam gen will currently by default reverse engineer *all* schemas. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3994309#...
