Fellow xdoclet users, have been using XDoclet 1.2.3, and
have the following 2 questions: 1) how do you control the order of the columns output to
the mapping file. It appears that the identifier field is always first and that columns are
ordered first from the child-most class up through the columns of the parent classes, seeming to always
follow a java destructor call pattern. I would like the order to be more like a constructor
call where a child class' columns are appended in the generated mapping file after its
parent's columns. 2) how do you completely override a component property's
column name. It appears that the @hibernat.component tag does not have a column= option and that one must use the
@hibernat.component's prefix attribute to prepend to the component's
@hibernate.property's column= name. Don't want to prepend a prefix, want the method using
the component to override the component's column name. In other words, given these three classes: public class Entity{ private String id; private String name; private TimeStamp timeCreated; /** @hibernate.id generator-class="native"
column="EntityID" */ public long getIdAsLong() { long i = Long.parseLong(id); return i; } /** @hibernate.property */ public String getName(){ return name; } /** @hibernate.component
class="com.inforise.time.TimeStamp" prefix="TimeCreated__"
*/ public TimeStamp getTimeCreated() { return timeCreated; } } public class TimeStamp{ private Date date; /** @hibernate.property type="timestamp" */ public Date getDate(){ return date; } } /* @hibernate.class table="users" */ public class User extends Entity{ private String email = null; /* @hibernate.property column="Email" */ public String getEmail(){ return email; } } Am getting the following mapping file generated by xdoclet: <hibernate-mapping> <class name="com.inforise.use.User"
table="users" > <id name="idAsLong"
column="EntityID" type="long" > <generator class="native">
</generator> </id> <property name="email"
type="java.lang.String" update="true"
insert="true" column="Email" /> <property name="name"
type="java.lang.String" update="true"
insert="true" column="name" /> <component name="timeCreated"
class="com.inforise.time.TimeStamp" > <property name="date"
type="timestamp" update="true" insert="true"
column="TimeCreated__date" /> </component> </class> </hibernate-mapping> Would like to have this instead : <hibernate-mapping> <class name="com.inforise.use.User"
table="users" > <id name="idAsLong"
column="EntityID" type="long" > <generator class="native">
</generator> </id> <!-- answer for question 1 should provide the following
order of fields: --> <property name="name"
type="java.lang.String" update="true"
insert="true" column="name" /> <component name="timeCreated"
class="com.inforise.time.TimeStamp" > <!-- answer for question 2 should provide this line
instead (note column="TimeCreated" instead of
"TimeCreated__date"): --> <property name="date"
type="timestamp" update="true" insert="true"
column="TimeCreated" /> </component> <property name="email"
type="java.lang.String" update="true"
insert="true" column="Email" /> </class> </hibernate-mapping> Currently, am working around question 2 using xtask to
modify the column attribute, but it ain't pretty:~; it would be nice if all method related @hibernate tags would
have a column attribute that completely overrides any derived column names, ie.: @hibernate.component
column="TimeCreated"... and <component
column="TimeCreated"... On the other hand, have not as of yet come up with a
work-around for question 1, but am thinking there should be a way to set the order pattern since there is a pattern now.
Perhaps there could be a orderPattern="constructor|destructor" attribute for the hibernatedoclet tag. Sincerely, Mark Rines |
