That's what I've found too. The reversemapping tool will create new java files based on the database tables, and provide an orm.xml file. No annotations though.
You can always add them based on the generated orm.xml file although that might be easier said than done if you have a lot of entities. -mike On 5/16/07, Phill Moran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am not sure that it will annotate your exiting code but (I think) it will make an external mapping file for you or generate the annotated classes from the ground up.

I apologize if this question has been previously asked and answered. I have googled for an answer with no luck. I have been requested to use OpenJPA on a project. The tool appears straight forward and works well, I have ran the reverse engineering example on my own DB - it works great. However... no EJB3 annotations were generated (@Entity, etc). What configuration option must I define to have the reversemapping tool generate an EJB3 EntityEJB? A short response would be great - any response would would really help (am I asking for something that does not exist?) Thank-you, Linda Rae
