Tools to generate the domain model diagram

[Dorothy Taylor]

Hi All

I am new to Hibernate and seek some guidance.

Given the list of tables that need to exist in the database, is there any tool available that can generate the domain model design and also point out if any of the fields have been wrongly created as per ORM

Regards
Dorothy

Hi Dorothy,

the best tool to create a domain model design is your brain .

However if you really really want to create your design from existing tables then use Middlegen to generate Hibernate mapping documents and then run Hibernate's hbm2java tool.

Check the Hibernate tools, they have exactly what you are asking for. They can read a database schema and build the domain model (annotated or using hbm.xml).

JBoss Tools wraps that up in an eclipse plugin
