Question

when i tried to use symfony2 doctrine reverse engineering tools, I have a one to many relationship. for example:

A: id, name; B: id, a_id, name   

so the reverse engineering tools give me something like:

class A{  
  private id;
  private name;
}
class B{
  private id, 
  private A a;
  private name;
}   

but what I need is :

class A{
  private id;
  private Bs;
  private name;
}   

How can I make doctrine tools generate this for me ? because the data is changing and I do not want to rewrite every time the database changes.

Answer 1

I am sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but you can’t. The only option is to generate the entities and then add the specifics yourself.

This command is not suited for constant usage. It is a little helper
and does not support all the mapping edge cases very well. You still
have to put work in your entities after using this command.
