We have an existing database schema that's rather large. I've used
Hibernate Tools to generate the .java entity files, complete with
@Entity annotations so Hibernate picks them up automatically. That
works very well.
Next, I want to use BeanEditForm to edit the tables. I can't really
add @Id, @NonVisual, or @Validate to the classes, since they'll be
overwritten every time I re-generate the classes when I add or modify
a table.
What's the best way to do this? Is there some way to do this in
a .properties file? Some fancy dynamic class augmentation scheme? I
have over 100 tables, so something with minimal maintenance would be
best.
