Hibernate tools

[Hanna Habashy]

I am using Hibernate Tools 3.2. I want to implement ReverseEngineeringStrategy, and I cannot find the api anywhere.

Do you know where I can find the api for Hibernate Tools?

I posted this question on Hibernate forum, and I got no answers.

Thanks

There's a section "Custom Strategy" at Hibernate Reverse Engineering. Is it what you are looking for?

According to the documentation if I want to cusomize the reverse engineering strategy, I need to implement ReverseEngineeringStrategy interface or extend DelegatingReverseEngineeringStrategy class.

I want to know the signature of the above classes, so I can implement them.

Thanks

You mean, you want to know which method to override? It depends on what you want to customize. Here's an example which overrides the columToPropertyName method to generate a custom property name out of the table's column name : Custom Reverse Engineering example. If you want the entire list of methods available on these classes (the javadoc) then i dont think that its available currently.
