Yep , documentation is not clear enough in all cases ..but yes you will have to dowlonad torque-gen-3.1.zip in order to obtain the torque peer classes generator.
You will define your database schema and generate corresponding java classes and sql statements inside torque-gen distribution define your schema here: /torque-gen-3.1/schema/your-project-schema.xml define your generation properties here: /torque-gen-3.1/build.properties after running ant build-torque.xml inside the folder /torque-gen-3.1/ you will have the generated files here: /torque-gen-3.1/src/java /torque-gen-3.1/src/sql (create java project..eclipse/jbuilder/jdeveloper/or by hand:)) get java files from /torque-gen-3.1/src/java also here you will have to aquire the jars from torque-3.1 (here it is) to configure torque.properties - your database props here... log4j.properties - log4j props... both files are provided with the torque-3.1 distribution and somewhere in the code of your project you will have to invoke (once - per application) Torque.init("the full path to the file torque.properties"); hope this helps ... torque as an engine realizes the object2relational mapping by creating (offline/design time) wrapper & peer classes for each table in your database schema...that is why you first have to generate those classes via torque-gen.. and these classes use torque engine (which is in torque-3.1.zip) that is why you have to include torque engine jars to the project afterwards torque-gen-3.1.zip (torque generator) is used before compile (design time) torque-3.1.zip (torque engine) is used while compiling (and of course at runtime :) if there are other questions give them .. with best regards, bogdan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwin Yearwood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Apache Torque Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 14:18 Subject: RE: torque-3.1.zip archives Hi, yes that's right I am talking about the torque-3.1.zip. If I've understood you correctly that means we need to extract both the torque-3.1.zip and torque-gen-3.1.zip archives before using the application, right? I don't think the tutorial guide emphasises this?. Thanks.

Is that right that you talk about torque-3.1.zip (not torque-gen-3.1.zip) ?

Apologise if these question have been answered before, but I can't seem to access the mailing list archives. Thanks.
