Views and seam-gen usage

[vijay172.bvijaykr.gmail.com]

HI,

1st time user of the posts.I have googled for this and cannot seem to find an answer.
I am trying to reverse engineer a complex Oracle view and seam-gen doesn't generate any entities.
I am trying to sell usage of Seam within my company and any help is appreciated. My apologies if this has been answered but I cannot seem to find the answer. I have
googled and looked at "SEam In Action"

seam-gen.reveng.xml:

table-filter match-name="SIC_CLAIMANT_VW" match-schema="SICWCC" exclude="false"/>            
table name="SIC_CLAIMANT_VW" class="com.standard.wcc.model.SicClaimantType"....

Huge oracle View spread out across multiple schemas and tables:

FROM code_trunc_mvw cis_tac,test1.personname pn,cdcountrytp country,locationgroup hr_em_lg,test1.contractcompval std_ccv


Any links or any articles explaining how to do this would be very helpful for a novice user.

TIA,
VIjay

Hi and welcome to Seam,
Have you succeeded in generate entities from standard tables (not views)? I mean to check if your configuration is ok.
As it´s your first time I advise you to have a look at chapter 2 of the reference documentation: Getting started with Seam, using
seam-gen. It would be very useful.
You may find that documentation available in pdf and html in your downloaded distro in this path:

..\jboss-seam-2.X.Y.GA\doc\reference\en-US\

Hope it helps!

Hi Jaime,
Thanks for your reply and the link.Yes,I have created at least 5 different projects with seam-gen but they all point to simple tables.This is a complex view with multiple tables in multiple schemas.

Hi, I have generated views sometimes with eclipse and seam-gen without problem. Howewer I only have one schema in that projects. I´m afraid the problem is that seam-gen is not able to work with complex views from multiple schemas and that you´ll have to code it without the help of seam-gen.
