[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-843) Generate application from existing entities

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-843?page=comments#action_12357285 ] Max Andersen commented on JBSEAM-843: ------------------------------------- I got a patch for this now. Currently it adds "generate-ui" as a task that uses jpaconfiguration to run view generation from compiled classes instead of the reverse engineered model. ant "generates-entities" still both do reverse engineering and generate-ui. The advantages of this is that you now can actually refer to the entities classes while rendering the ui (needed for new-query functionallity) The "downside" is that the generated code have to be compilable and be mapped correct/valid before the view can be generated. Because of the above I haven't just comitted this to seam since I don't have the time to test if common combinations will work. chicken-egg issues while doing this patch: 1) the hibernate/ejb3 libraries in seam seem to be "old" since they don't include the method from Ejb3Configuration to build a Configuration without creating a sessionfactory. (Workaround: include newer hibernate/annotations libs that does support it in seam-gen/lib) 2) to run a jpaconfiguration requires the code in the project to be compiled (Workaround: call from seam-gen to the project's "jar" task) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
