Re: [weld-dev] SQL framework proof of concept

Nick, javassist works at runtime, the generated classes are not available to the compiler. So all code that uses FooEntity is uncompilable. Javaassist is useful for creating new implementations of types that already exist, not for creating new types. What you're describing can be achieved using a Java6 processor (a compiler plugin), which is what we are doing in Hibernate for generating the X_ classes for entity classes X. But in this case, we don't have any entities. These classes exist to represent database tables. I don't love the idea of going off to the database and reading the db metadata every time I compile my code ;-) On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 5:59 PM, Nicklas Karlsson <nickarls(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > OK.
