"Make this class and its related classes mapped via JPA" -------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-2077 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2077 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Hibernate Reporter: Vitali Yemialyanchyk Assignee: Vitali Yemialyanchyk Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.0.0.beta1 Attachments: JBIDE-2077_20081009.zip Denis Golovin: >>> Let's imagine I have several (say 10) classes that I'd like to make persistent. The classes form completed domain model. I decided to use hibernate and JPA annotations, I have lets say JBDS 1.1.0 or JBossTools 2.1.0 installed. Question is what I should do to make my model persistent? It there anything that helps me to do it? Now I see only way. I have to go through all classes and add annotations for class and for fields. >>> Max Andersen: >>> Having a "Make this class and its related classes mapped via JPA" would be an interesting Refactoring to implement. Should basically just work like this: makePersistent(ITypeRoot clazz, Set processed) { add @Entity Find most likely id property and add @Id processed.add(selectedClass); associations = getAssociatedClasses(selectedClass); foreach class in associations { if(!processed.contains(class)) { makePersistent(class, processed); } } } There then might be some exceptional cases like handling version properties, temporal values and non-JPA supported mappings which Hibernate would be able to understand/map. >>>
