Chapter 4 Generating Hibernate Persistent Objects and JSF Pages

Defining Java classes

To define new persistent Java classes for Hibernate, you can simply define Java classes using any UML Class Diagram concepts (classes, associations, generalizations, etc).

If you have an existing database and want to create Hibernate Java classes to access the database, then you can:

1. Reverse engineer the database to obtain a Physical Data Model (PDM)
2. Generate an OOM from the PDM
