orm.xml - customizing table name [message #740421]

How do I write an orm.xml file to customize only the name of the database table mapped to an entity?
Any other mapping I want to configure using annottation.

Does anybody has an example?

Thanks. Mauro.

Hello,

The orm.xml file is merged overtop of the annotations, so you only need to define what you need to have changed. A simple orm.xml might look like:

<entity-mappings version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm orm_2_0.xsd">
    <entity name="EntityName" class="package.Entity" access="PROPERTY">
        <table name="TABLE_NAME"/>
    </entity>
...
</entity-mappings>

Best Regards,
Chris

Thanks, Chris. It almost worked.

Unfortunally two annottations were ignored:

1) @Temporal

  @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
  @Column(name = "DATA_HORA")
  private Calendar          dataHora;

Exception Description: The attribute [dataHora] from the entity class [class X] does not specify a temporal type. A temporal type must be specified for persistent fields or properties of type java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar.
at org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ValidationException.noTemporalTypeSpecified(ValidationException.java:1375)

2) @Id

  @Id
  @Column(name = "NRO_INT_AUDITORIA")
  private Long              nroIntAuditoria;

Exception Description: Entity class [class X] has no primary key specified. It should define either an @Id, @EmbeddedId or an @IdClass. If you have defined PK using any of these annotations then make sure that you do not have mixed access-type (both fields and properties annotated) in your entity class hierarchy.

I will try now to define this two information redundantly in orm.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entity-mappings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm_1_0.xsd"
	version="1.0">
	<entity name="EntityName" class="X"
		access="PROPERTY">
		<table name="TABLE" />
		<attributes>
			<id name="nroIntAuditoria"></id>
			<basic name="dataHora"><temporal>TIMESTAMP</temporal></basic>
		</attributes>	
	</entity>
</entity-mappings>

My mistake, Chris! Ignore my last post.

Your solution worked.

In my first try I was using access="PROPERTY" and I should use "FIELD".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entity-mappings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm_1_0.xsd"
	version="1.0">
	<entity name="AuditoriaED" class="X"
		access="FIELD">
		<table name="TABLE" />
	</entity>
</entity-mappings>

Thanks.
