POJO from HBM file

Question

HI all,

I am new to hibernate and I would to create POJO from xxx.hbm.xml file.

Is it possible? Please respond.

Answer 1

The Hibernate Tools include an Ant Task allowing to generate Java code from mapping files (amongst other things). Check the section 4.4.2. POJO java code exporter (<hbm2java>) in the documentation.

The Hibernate3 Maven Plugin also supports this (with the hibernate3:hbm2java goal).
