Dave,
You can use DbLoader class to reengineer DB from your code or build
an Ant task on top of it.
In fact if you map the entities as generic classes during
reengineering, you can use the generated DataMap in the application
right away, without a restart. I've done it on one project. IMO such
dynamic ORM is pretty cool.

Hi Kevin,
can I make direct use of a function in the Modeler jar to
instantiate a generate from my own app?
It would be good in Cayenne but I think it will be a long time
before I move to version 3. I don't want somebody to do all the
work and it never gets used.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
There is not currently any ant task for that. The expectation has
been that
you would generate the datamap once from the modeler, and then use
the cgen
ant task to generate the classes. Now that Tore has added code in
the
modeler for merging changes between the DB and the datamap, it may be
worthwhile to add some sort of ant task for that.
If it is something you'd like to see in 3.0, please file a JIRA
and it'll
get reviewed.

Hi,
is there an ant task to reengineer the database as you can with
Cayenne
Modeler?
