Lazy mapping with hibernate tools?


I have two tables A and B in my database. I the table B I have a reference to the table A by an Integer idA. (idA is a foreign key for B) When I do reverse engineering using hibernate-tools, I generate two Java objects.

public class A{
  int id;
} 

and

public class B{
  int id;
  A a;
} 

But I want to have

public class B{
  int id;
  int idA;
}  

How can I do this?

Thanks,


Solution

  • So I found a solution: create a custom ReverseEngineeringStrategy and change the return of excludeForeignKeyAsManytoOne method to true.

    public class MyReverseEngineeringStrategy extends DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy {
    
        public MyReverseEngineeringStrategy(ReverseEngineeringStrategy delegate) {
            super(delegate);
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean excludeForeignKeyAsManytoOne(String keyname, TableIdentifier fromTable, List fromColumns, TableIdentifier referencedTable, List referencedColumns) {
            return true;
                    }
    
    }
