Adding Hibernate Support

To generate Hibernate O/R mapping files that fit in your needs, you need to defined Hibernate specific options. PowerDesigner provides support for Hibernate through an extended model definition.

1. Verify that the current model has the target language Java or Java 5.0
2. Select Model > Extended Model Definitions, and click the Import tool.
   
3. Click the O/R Mapping sub-tab, select the Hibernate xem, and click OK to attach it to your model.

• Defining the Hibernate Default Options
  You can define these options in the model or a package property sheet.
• Defining the Hibernate Database Configuration Parameters
  Hibernate can support multiple databases. You need to define database configuration parameters. The database configuration parameters are stored in the configuration file, hibernate.cfg.xml .
