Seam-gen Entity name generation question

[anescu]

Hi,

Maybe this was already answered, but I couldn't find it:
I have a DB schema, where tables have a prefix, to identify them as belonging to a module:

md_*
msg_*

If I use seam-gen, out of the box, I get entities (and all the other java, xhtml files) like this:

Md*
Msg*

Can this be avoided? Can you specify somewhere that you want to ignore the prefix when generating the code? Or transform the prefix into a package? I found on the net an article about the way you can generate the table/column names for hibernate but that involved creating your own Java class. Maybe here it's easier to do this, from a config file?

seamgen currently only enable the usage of reveng.xml where you can explicit list the names wanted for tables/columns.

You can patch your version of seam-gen to use a custom reverse engineering strategy if you want finer control over it.

See the docs for hibernate tools on how to do this.
