JPA Tooling - Adding JPA Annotations to a POJO - Allow users to choose the field to be marked as PK --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-11975 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11975 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: hibernate Reporter: Vimal Kansal Assignee: Koen Aers Labels: jpa Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta1 Hi, I am using JBDS 5.0 Beta 3. I created a POJO with follwoing attributes : String username; String password String loginCount; Then I invoked conetxt menu option "Generate Hibernate/JPA annotations", it generates only @Entity annotation. Obviously there is no way for the wizard to find out which attribute should act as PK. However if I include a string "id" anywhere in "username" e.g idusername, usernameid, useridname, it assumes it to be the PK and generates @Id and @GeneratedValue annotation. I wonder if this is by design? I think a better approach would be to let the user choose on the wizard, which field he wants to mark as PK.
