Chapter 9 Generating Persistent Objects for Java and JSF Pages

Adding Hibernate Support

PowerDesigner uses a Hibernate Extended Model Definition (or profile) to generate Hibernate files.

To add Hibernate support:

1. Verify that the current model has the target language Java or Java 5.0
2. Select Model→Extended Model Definitions.
3. In the List of Extended Model Definitions, click on the Import tool.
4. Select Hibernate in the O/R Mapping tab and click OK.

You can also select the Hibernate Extended Model Definition when creating an OOM.

Hibernate has a lot of options for O/R mapping support.

To generate Hibernate O/R mapping files that fit in your needs, you need to defined Hibernate specific options.
