I'm not sure if people noticed, but I submitted an alternate Middlegen
plugin that generates hbm.xml, as discussed here. Theres a few
improvements I need to make to that, but I will try to get onto
"finishing" it in the next few days.
I also understand that Konstantin is adding composite id support to the
XDoclet module and that Max has very nearly finished the <meta> patch
for hbm2java.
To complete our full roundtripping I suggest the following additional
toolset features:
(1) create a <hbm2java> ant task (easy to do)
(2) add a @hibernate.meta tag to the XDoclet module
(3) add functionality for generation of XDoclet @hibernate.tags to
hbm2java
These new features will allow full reversability of <hibernatedoclet>
via <hbm2java> and vice versa.
Max has suggested that hbm2java could use a velocity template for code
generation. Particularly now that I have a bit of experience with
velocity, I certainly agree that it would be a nicer way of doing
things. However, from a practical point of view, I wouldn't want someone
to waste time on this if that would mean a big delay in delivering the
"finished" toolset. The #1 advantage I see to using a template is that
users would then be able to easily customize to template to suit their
own preferences. OTOH, if we wanted that, then we would probably need to
clean up the underlying "model" objects that represent the parsed
mapping document. So anyway, lets put that (the template) on the todo
list, but leave implementing (1) and (3), by whatever means, as the top
priority.
Thoughts?
