Generate your iBATIS mapping files with sql2iBatis

From the iBATIS mailing list: 

Hi everyone, 

I just wanted to remind everyone of Alex Egorov's sql2iBatis tool. 
I've recently had the chance to try it.  If you have a database that's
already created, this will save you a lot of time.  It will kickstart
your project.

Given DDL, it generates the SQL Mapping files and the JavaBeans.  It's
super simple and extremely fast.  You may want to tweak the Perl to
generate bean field naming conventions to your liking, or just
refactor it afterwards.   You might also want to run the source
through Jalopy or your favorite IDE formatter to achieve the
formatting you want.

However you cut it, this tool will save you tons of time (even if you
don't use everything it generates...deleting is faster than writing).

Cheers,
Clinton

Too bad it's a perl script. It would be nice to add something like this to AppFuse so you could get the same generate-mapping-files thing like Hibernate has with XDoclet.

Okay, I'll bite.

This is exactly the kind of thing perl excels at. Dismising it just because it's not written in java is rather short sighted of you I think. There is a best tool for each job and that tool is not always java.

Of course I may have missed your point all together.

I don't mean to diss on perl at all. It would merely be more convenient if it was Java-based with an Ant task - then I could just include it with AppFuse. Since it's perl, I'd have to include instructions on how to download/setup perl. Granted, it's not that hard, but for some folks it is. ;0)

[Trackback] Matt greeve about sql2iBatis script being Perl based and I wanted to remind him that there is an evolving generator tool we have for ages. Middlegen already has plugins that can generate code for different persistence layer types and it could be c...

I believe not having perl is only an issue for Windows users. ;) Regardless, you're right, an Ant task would make sense given the project.

Or you could use the wonderful middlegen(http://boss.bekk.no/boss/middlegen/) tool to generate output in many formats. Written in Java, comes with ant task and doesn't require perl(not that there's anything wrong with that). Ben
