Question

when i run my hibernate tools
it reads from the db and create java classes for each tables,
and a java class for composite primary keys.
that’s great.

the problem is this line

@Table(name="tst_feature"
    ,catalog="tstdb"
)

while the table name is required, the “catalog” attribute is not required.
sometimes i want to use “tstdb”, sometimes i want to use “tstdev”

i thought which db was chosen depends on the jdbc connection url
but when i change the jdbc url to point to “tstdev”, it is still using “tstdb”

so,
i know what must be done,
just don’t know how its is done
my options are

• suppress the generation of the “catalog” attribute
  currently i’m doing this manually (not very productive)
  or i could write a program that parses the java file and remove the attribute manually
  but i’m hoping i don’t have to

OR

• find a way to tell hibernate to ignore the “catalog” attribute and use the schema that is explicitly specified.
  i don’t know the exact setting i have to change to achive this, or even if the option is available.

Answer 1

You need to follow 3 steps –

1) In the hibernate.cfg.xml, add this property

hibernate.default_catalog = MyDatabaseName

(as specified in above post)

2) In the hibernate.reveng.xml, add all the table filters like this

table-filter match-name="MyTableName"

(just this, no catalog name here)

3) Regenerate hibernate code

You will not see any catalog name in any of the *.hbm.xml files.

I have used Eclipse Galileo and Hibernate-3.2.4.GA.
