Do you need to map an existing database to JPA or Hibernate classes?

Do you need to configure how to map tables and columns to classes, attributes and associations?

Instead of mapping every table and column explicitly, use HiberObjects to automate this repetitive task.

For instance:

• Map tables name like my_table to Java classes like MyTable.
• Map foreign keys to Java attributes or associations.
• Map columns that are referenced by name to associations. This is useful in databases that don't have foreign keys, but use naming conventions to join tables.
• Map N-M relations to many-to-many associations.

A Groovy script gives full control of all aspects how to map database tables and columns to Java. This script can be reused for other similar databases.

The script is configured in a wizard where it is easy to make modifications and preview the results.

The generated classes can for instance be used by GWT or Grails applications.
