To be absolutely clear, I'm suggesting this as a way to put the new metamodel API in place for beta1, not for "a way out".
The Configuration would simply supply the data that would go into the new metamodel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hardy Ferentschik" <ha...@hibernate.org> To: hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org, "Gail Badner" <gbad...@redhat.com> Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 1:51:30 AM Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] Configuration as data for generating metamodel Hi, I don't see what we would gain by this. In fact I don't know how you want to do this. The way forward is the new metamodel. Given the current state I don't believe into a beta1 either (at least not w/ the functionality we discussed), but if we are looking for a way out, I don't think this is it. --Hardy On Mon, 23 May 2011 10:19:19 +0200, Gail Badner <gbad...@redhat.com> wrote: > I've been thinking about how we can have the metamodel API in place in > time for the 4.0.0.beta1. > > One alternative is to use a fully built o.h.cfg.Configuration to provide > the data for generating the new metamodel. > > This is obviously not what we would want in the end, but in the near > term it would give us the data with everything already resolved. > > It would be available sooner so Steve could get going more quickly on > building the SessionFactory/persisters. > > I've thought of 2 ways we could use the Configuration: > 1) create a separate type of metamodel source for Configuration data > (e.g., org.hibernate.metamodel.source.configuration) and use data from > this source to generate the metamodel. > 2) use Configuration for binding missing data (what we haven't finished) > from annotations and hbm sources; as more data is available, we can > remove the references to Configuration. > > Comments? > > Gail > > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-dev mailing list > hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
