Hibernate does have command line tools to generate POJO class files from XML mapping files and viceversa.
Does hibernate has tools for generating mapping xml files without POJO class files. as you said it can be done vice versa means either of the two must be present.
I have to work on a project where I don't know anything about what database may be used, or what can be its database schema. I need to get database schema,generate entity beans or I can also just rely on hibernate for persistence layer.
My application will be later on used by another developer to customize it according to a particular business module. We are planning to use
jboss as application server and ejbs for the final customized application.
I want to develop something like Middlegen but without the another developer specifying table and their relationship as I saw it on middlegen web site frontpage. My application will generate the persistence classes and then cmp beans.
