Hibernate Tool custom template

[jacob deiter]

I Hibernate Tool, I Used it to generate DAO. But it contain session factory creation and all.

part of the code

protected SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
		try {
			return (SessionFactory) new InitialContext()
					.lookup("SessionFactory");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			log.error("Could not locate SessionFactory in JNDI", e);
			throw new IllegalStateException(
					"Could not locate SessionFactory in JNDI");
		}
	}

	public void persist(Person transientInstance) {
		log.debug("persisting Person instance");
		try {
			sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().persist(transientInstance);
			log.debug("persist successful");
		} catch (RuntimeException re) {
			log.error("persist failed", re);
			throw re;
		}
	}

My expectation is to use Spring Template instead of Session factory. For that ,I have to write a Template? if yes, please Help in this.

What Hibernate tool are you talking about?

[jacob deiter]

I used "Hibernate Tools for Eclipse" Version:3.2.4 Beta

for more information I add this

My expected code

public void save(Person transientInstance) {
		log.debug("saving Person instance");
		try {
			[b]hibernateTemplate[/b].save(transientInstance);
			log.debug("save successful");
		} catch (RuntimeException re) {
			log.error("save failed", re);
			throw re;
		}
	}

hi jacob,

Did you manage to find any solution for this?

OR Are there any other opensource tools available in the market that can do this?

Thanks & Regards!

If in case it might be useful to some one, the solution for the above is as follows

1. Open the hibernate-tools.jar file in the dir c:\eclipse\plugins\org.hibernate.eclipse_3.4.1.v20110729-2006-H171-Final\lib\tools where c:\eclipse is the dir where eclipse is installed

2. inside the hibernate-tools.jar there is a file called daohome.ftl in the dir dao, which is the template for the DAO file generated.

3. Modify the file daohome.ftl [to use hibernate template OR the way you want] and update the hibernate-tools.jar and generate the classes

Regards!
