hbm2java compability

meta attributes

The following meta attributes are implemented in hbm2java v3:

class-description, field-description, interface, implements, extends, generated-class, scope-class, scope-set, scope-get, scope-field, use-in-equals, property-type, class-code, extra-import.

The following meta attributes are not implemented. If you are dependent on these, then submit patches and/or create jira issues for them:

implement-equals	were redundant. use "use-in-equals" to decide wether equals/hashcode will be implemented
bound	NYI
constrained	NYI
finder-method	NYI - will prefer to implement proper DAO instead
session-method	NYI - will prefer to implement proper DAO instead

Automatic generation of Base classes

This feature were available in hbm2java v2 by using a config.xml.

This is for technical reasons not yet possible in hbm2java v3, it will be.

Until then using meta attribute "generated-class" is recommended.

POST QUESTIONS ON THE FORUM! COMMENTS HERE SHOULD ADD VALUE TO THE PAGE!gen-property is important. It's used with extends meta, when a class extends a unmapped class that already implements the property method.
