Annotation in Entity-Classes

[Michael]

Hi,

I need to parse xml-files and write the Data into a database. I would like to use simple xml to parse the files. Therefore, I need to anotate the fields in the auto-generated Entity-Classes.
Is it possibile to do this?

Thanks
Michael

It's not supported. The only workaround I see at the moment is to annotate generated entity code. Of course, every code generation will overwrite, but maybe your entities are already stable. So, why not... Version control is a must anyways.

I think there had been some discussion about passing annotations to the generator. If you want, you could give it a try by forking greenDAO. :)

FYI, I'm working on annotation support for green-dao because we also need it for Jackson.

Stay tuned.

Btw, it will be based on my hack to separate generated code from the actual entity. I guess Markus did not have time to review it but I'm hoping to get it on production in the following 3 weeks (sadly it is my side project within the company).
