EOGeneration is the creation of the EO java classes from a model, as such the Velocity EOGenerator is not involved in DB reverse engineering. DB reverse engineering is the generation of a model from your DB, I don't use it so I'm afraid I can offer little assistance there.

The most complete repository of the Velocity EOEGenerator capabilities is probably in the the templates themselves. <http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/support/eogenerator/Velocity%20EOGenerator%20Templates/> They use the Velocity template language which is documented here: <http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.5/user-guide.html> ;david -- David LeBer Codeferous Software 'co-def-er-ous' adj.
