User development, A new message was posted in the thread "How to reverse engineer tables from multiple schemas?": http://community.jboss.org/message/520382#520382 Author : Wouter Hartog Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/wouterhartog Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to the replies from Denis and Max, I tried a few more things and got it to work now. The issue was with the hibernate.reveng.xml file. Based on what the wizard created, I had just this in in the reveng.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-reverse-engineering PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Reverse Engineering DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd" > <hibernate-reverse-engineering>   <table-filter match-schema="maintenance" match-name=".*"/>   <table-filter match-schema="consultant_db" match-name=".*"/> </hibernate-reverse-engineering> I also changed the 'match-schema' attribute to 'match-catalog', but that didn't help. However, when I changed it to the following, it worked fine: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-reverse-engineering PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Reverse Engineering DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd" > <hibernate-reverse-engineering>   <schema-selection match-catalog="maintenance" />   <schema-selection match-catalog="consultant_db" /> </hibernate-reverse-engineering> In other words, just using 'table-filter' doesn't make it look at different catalogs/ databases in MySQL, but the 'schema-selection' element does. I think this is quite acceptable for how it works. However, the Hibernate reverse engineering editor can perhaps be improved: - How can we get multiple schemas to show up in the wizard? It looks like the wizard looks at the hibernate.connection.url property in the hibernate-console.properties file. However, when I leave out the name of the database (e.g.   jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306) without the database, the wizard does not return any tables. - The wizard could have an extra tab at the bottom where you can select the schemas/ catalogs you want, effectively creating the <schema-selection ...> tags Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/520382#520382
