hi abator guys,
Abator has the concept of rootClass for the javaModelGenerator. Many of our
POJOs need to extend from a parent class. we use this feature. But abator
overrides all the methods in the parent class and i manually cleaned up
these methods in the generated pojo.
i had some free time and tweaked the abator source so that if the parent
class has a particular field, the pojo will not override it.
this is done by having hte <property> elements. The 'classPathEntry' will
lead to the jar file which must contain the rootClass.
<javaModelGenerator targetPackage="xx.yy" targetProject="Prject_Name" >
<property name="rootClass" value="x.y.z.AbstractBaseDomain" />
<property name="classPathEntry"
value="/eclipse_Workspace/Prject_Name/test.jar"/>
</javaModelGenerator>
do you think that this is something which will be useful for the community.
If it is useful how should this be sent and obviously code-review etc.
regards
Ashok
