how to use Xdoclet in standalone application

[vijay akni kumar]

I wrote a pojo class say it Employee.java

package org.emp;
public class Employee {

private String empid;

private String empName;

private String address;

public String getAddress() {
return address;
}

public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
}

public String getEmpid() {
return empid;
}

public void setEmpid(String empid) {
this.empid = empid;
}

public String getEmpName() {
return empName;
}

public void setEmpName(String empName) {
this.empName = empName;
}
}

Now i want to generate hbm file for this pojo file.

how??? using Xdoclet?

Thanks in advance.....

Well, if you used JPA annotations, you wouldn't even need an hbm file! Here's a simple example of a User, as opposed to an Employee, decorated with JPA annotations:

@Entity
@Table (name="user", schema="examscam")
public class User {

  private int id;
  private String password;
  private String loginName;

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue 
  @Column (name="id")
  public int getId() {return id;}
  public void setId(int id) {this.id = id;}

  @Column (name="login_name")
  public String getLoginName() {return loginName;}
  public void setLoginName(String loginName) {
    this.loginName = loginName;
  }

  @Column (name="password")
  public String getPassword() {return password;}
  public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
  }
  
  public static void main(String args[]){    }

}    

Mapping Columns and POJO Attributes with Hibernate and JPA

And actually, many of those annotations aren't needed, as the @Column mappings have defaults that are reasonable.

You could actually simplify it as much as this?

   
public class User {
  private Long id;
  private String password;

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue
  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }
  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
  public String getPassword() {
    return password;
  }
  public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
  }
} 

So, why not just use JPA annotations instead?
