Hey all,

Been using the OpenJPA to reverse engineer from existing database
structures to create DTO and orm.xml files with great success!!!

 

I'm an old middlegen user, but have migrated to OpenJPA.  One of the
features in middlegen that I appreciated was defining the default
behavior of mapping the SQL type to the Java type.

 

For instance, one project might convert SQL to DTO fields as:

SQL_INT  - int

SQL_LONG - long

SQL_DATE - java.sql.Date

 

While another project would be:

SQL_INT  - java.lang.Long

SQL_LONG - java.lang.Long

SQL_DATE - java.util.Date

 

Now, I've been getting by with the reverse-customizer.properties
approach, but since I need to explicitly define EACH field across an
entire dataset, this is very time consuming.

 

Is there an existing approach that would help with setting default
behavior, or is this something that sounds like a reasonable enhancement
and should be added to JIRA?

 

Thanks,

-D
