If you are using this to read data only, have a look at the RecordMapper functionality. A record mapper maps DB Columns to an object. You can use different record mappers for the same table (e.g. it can be passed in through SomePeer.doSelect(Criteria, RecordMapper<TT>), so have different object representations. For a generic village-record-like representation, see org.apache.torque.om.mapper.ObjectListMapper (personally I do not like this representation, put perhaps it serves your needs). Views (now supported !) are also a more db-centric option. > 2. We have added our own caching implementation > (configurable via the schema definition) to the Object.vm > and Peer.vm templates.

Have you checked the code-gen tutorial (http://db.apache.org/torque/torque-4.0/documentation/tutorial/orm/index.html) for a basic understanding ? Also, there is an example in the torque test project (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/torque/torque4/trunk/torque-test/src/main/torque-gen) which basically does what you want, i.e. overrides the Peer template (adding @SuppressWarnings annotations). The torque generation config which invokes this can be found in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/torque/torque4/trunk/torque-test/pom.xml lines 183ff. To be more specific: Yes, you need at least an empty control configuration. You need to set either overrideConfigDir or overrideConfigPackage, depending whether the additional templates can be found in the file sytsem or in the classpath. Please ask again if you cannot get it working. Although more complicated :-(, the new generator is much more extensible than the old one. In the current trunk, you can even use groovy templates :-) > 3.

Sorry, this is not any more possible. The problem is to reliably find out whether the file has changed (e.g. some OS do not change the change date of a file when it is copied). I have seen more than one situation where schema changes did not get picked up because of this option, so my personal recommendation is not to rely on such a mechanism. Also, mvn generate is typically not executed often while developing, so long generation times should not slow down development too much. However, if you still want to use it, you can patch the Mojo class in the Torque maven plugin, this should not be too difficult (please share if you choose to do it). > 4.

We use log4j throughout our project. Yes, check the log4j configuration documentation. Basically you need to override the log4j configuration file and use two appenders, one file appender and one console appender, with different log levels. The log4j configuration needs to be in the classpath /org/apache/torque/generator/log4j.properties and it must have a higher classpath priority than the torque-generator.jar (I am currently not sure how to achieve this using maven, the last resort is patching the generator) Good luck!
