I've found a few older posts on this topic. Has ME addressed this yet or can I get this functionality from an open source project? Some moderators have mentioned the Spring Scafolding in the more expensive ME for Spring, but obtaining that version is not possible for me.

I'm looking for:

com.mycomp.dao.CustomerDAO

and

com.mycomp.dao.CustomerDAOImpl which of course implements CustomerDAO.

Thanks.

mangelo,

I'm afraid this is not possible with MyEclipse right now. I'll file this as an enhancement request. The only workaround of sorts that I can suggest is for you to use Eclipse refactoring after the generation to extract the interface from the DAO.

To be honest, I do not recall any prior request for the interface generation, could you point out a few? I will need to make sure all needs are met in the enhancement.

Any update on this?

Thanks.

sfrancolla,

The dev team is looking into it.
Let us know if you have any other issues.

:)

Since you ask... I completely customized my reveng templates and process.

Some challenges I had solved for with a script:
1. Solution for customizing destination for new DAOs
2. Solution for customizing destination for new pojos
3. Solution for migrating custom accessor code from preexisting DAOs to new DAOs

Issues I would have liked to manage with your tool but didn't bother putting time into on my script:
1. Customization of dao beanId naming convention (to lowercase the initial character)

Thanks.

Also, it would have been very useful during myeclipse reveng velocity template customization to have had documentation of your helper objects' APIs. Instead, I could only use those methods that had visible examples.

sfrancolla,

Thank you for the suggestions. We will surely work on them as per priority.
