Hi! I'm new on the Hibernate list, so I haven't followed your discussions about XDoclet and Middlegen integration lately. -But I've seen your Wiki. As some of you probably know already, Gavin has developed a Hibernate plugin for Middlegen that should work with the recent XDoclet module for Hibernate (which is in XDoclet's CVS and the recent 1.2b2 release).
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=660628&group_id=360 44&atid=415992 This means we'll have: RDBMS -- Middlegen --> POJOs with @hibernate tags -- XDoclet --> hbm.xml (POJO = Plain Old Java Object = simple javabean style class) So basically you can start with a database, do some configurations in Middlegen's GUI, and have the java code and hbm.xml files generated. Gavin and I have been discussing a different approach though: RDBMS -- Middlegen --> hbm.xml -- Hibernate's CodeGenerator --> POJOs Both approaches are a mix of bottom-up (you start with a database) + either xml->java or java->xml. According to Gavin, Hibernate's CodeGenerator is more mature than XDoclet's Hibernate module. However, his current Middlegen plugin advocates the XDoclet approach (and not the CodeGenerator approach). So my question is: Where do we go from here? Which approach do _you_ prefer? (Considering that this Hibernate/XDoclet/Middlegen marriage is still quite young and untested). Cheers, Aslak (Middlegen and XDoclet committer) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ hibernate-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hibernate-devel
