Generating EJB 3 with life-cycle methods using hibernate

[a_titov82]

Hello. I can use hibernate plug-in to generate EJB 3 Entities from POJOs. But is there any way to define methods that should be copied from POJO to Entity (without change) and methods, that should be copied from POJO to Entity and marked as lifecycle methods (@PreRemove, @PostRemome, etc.).

"Hibernate code generation" can transform MyClass...

public class MyClass {
 private String name;
 public String getName() {
 return name;
 }
 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
}

to this...

public class MyClass {
 private String name;
 @Column(name = "name", unique = false, nullable = true, insertable = true, updatable = true)
 public String getName() {
 return this.name;
 }

 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
}

That is good.
But can it transform MyClass2...

public class MyClass2 {
 private String name;
 public String getName() {
 return name;
 }
 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
 
 public void myMethod(){
 //do some action...
 }

}

to this...

public class MyClass2 {
 private String name;
 @Column(name = "name", unique = false, nullable = true, insertable = true, updatable = true)
 public String getName() {
 return this.name;
 }

 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
 
 @PreUpdate
 public void myMethod(){
 //do some action...
 }

}

?

well not really since it does code *generation* not code *transformation*.

but do note you can always use the meta tags or simply customize the templates to makeit do what you want.
