XDoclet works like this: - grab source class tagged with tags - generate something out of it. So, say you have base class without getters etc, but with properties. You can {theoretically, since no tags or templates exists for this puprose } tag properties appropriately. Then you can generate source for real one class with getters / setters ( derived from base one ) -> you got 2 classes & you have to work with new one. What I like inhibernate is the ability just write my persistent classes , and work wit them. Not like entity beans with all those interfaces & utility stuff. Though we might be generation some utility stuff by xdoclet - like remote facades & crud adapetrs for going to hibernate through session bean. It simply does not pays to use xdoclet for generation of getters/setters. Every decent IDE will yllow you to do this. But when it comes to generation of shitload of XML descriptors - xdoclet comes to full strength... regards, ===== Konstantin Priblouda ( ko5tik ) Freelance Software developer < http://www.pribluda.de > < play java games -> http://www.yook.de > < render charts online -> http://www.pribluda.de/povray/ > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
