[Hibernate] Very cool...

[Gavin_King/Cirrus%<CI...@ci...>]

Just been playing with the brand new Hibernate XDoclet extension writte=
n by
S=E9bastien Guimont. Very very nice. I think theres a bit of work still=
 to go
before its all fully documented and in CVS but I'm really looking forwa=
rd
to using the finished product. I'm most impressed by just how concise i=
t
is. A little tag in the class comment (approximately) like:

@hibernate.bean table-name=3D"TABLE" discriminator-value=3D"X"

and one for each property something like:

@hibernate.field column-name=3D"COL" column-length=3D"20"

its actually a really nice way to handle metadata.

I know a lot of people have asked about this functionality, so many tha=
nks
to S=E9bastien for going off and doing all the work on this.=
