Thanks Rod.  This will help tremendously.  I will let you all know how it turns

I second the middlegen
motion. Generates the Bean classes with XDoclet tags and XDoclet does the rest:
homes, remotes, descriptors. The sample is rather involved so here are the
basic components for your own ant script: a classpath, a Middlegen task and an
XDoclet task. I think this will save you some time in creating your own stipped
down ANT script for midlegen. 





 





1. Reference the database
config and table list for later inclusion:

2. Have a classpath
similar to the the following, also include the database config:





 





  
  
  
  
  
  





 

  
  
  
  
  
 

  
  





 





    &database





 





3. Have a Middlegen
target as follows, key is to point to your own entity-cmp-20.vm velocity script
and you can start with a copy from the middlegen source. 





 





  





   






   






 
username="${database.userid}" 
password="${database.password}" 
schema="${database.schema}"

mergeDir="./velocity"  readonly="false"

Anyone know of a good product (or
eclipse plugin) that I can point at my database and have it generate cmp entity
beans (files with xdoclet tags would be ok).  Yes, I realize I’ll have to tweak
the files afterward, but there’s a lot of this that can be automated.

Absolutely Edgar.  I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, I'll
check them all out.  This is invaluable to someone who'd rather spend
their time painting the mona lisa than painting by numbers. :)

Hi Eric ...

I have been using a Eclipse Plug-in called *Lomboz 
<http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=38>*, it's 
free and can be a great choice to you.
Nevertheless, there is another plug in called *MyEclipse Enterprise 
Workbench 
<http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=317>* , 
which is comercial but is super unexpensive licence , when you have 
other comercial IDE's in evaluation.

Another way can be you use the Middlegen, which is a free tool based 
also in XDoclet . It can create based in your relational schema your CMP

Entity Beans and your Struts Client as well.

Some problems that I have found in Lomboz is the generation os some 
files not necessary in the process, like: WebLogic files, and other 
related files to others application servers, however you can delete some

files , and to produce all your enviroment with simple builds using ANT.

The great place to looking for this "toys" is:

*http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/index.jsp

I hope this help you

Middlegen is ok but you have to adapt configuration and templates to 
make it work for you. The last release of the project was more than a 
year ago but you can give it a try. All the XDoclet tags seem to be working.

I have a perl script that converts an external database schema 
definition to a CMP  bean.

There's a Sourceforge project called Middlegen that does some of what 
you're asking. It's somewhat tricky to get running, and I found that 
I had to make extensive modifications to their templates (what else 
is new?) but I was able to get it running quite well. Hope it helps 
you.

Re: [JBoss-user] a to cmp

[Konstadinis Euaggelos]

There is a tool for it, middlegen, which need some 
configuration it's ant based project
which takes as an input a database and gives 
as output entities-beans, primarykeygenerator, jsp etc.. 
 
I think it's what do you need.
