Generated classes recreated after delete [message #765087] Tue, 13 December 2011 06:46 Go to next message

Hello,

I've recently resetup a project of mine and I realized that there were "duplicate" classes in my model folder. These file end with an underscore, like EntityName_.java . There's one for each @Entity class. I have no idea where they come from.

When deleting these files they are immediately recreated.

How do you stop this?

Sounds like the metamodel generation is enabled. Go to the project properties->JPA, at the bottom of the page there is a Canonical metamodel source folder selection. Change the selected source folder to <None>. This should stop the regeneration of those classes.

Yup, that did it. What's it for anyway? The code looked strange...

Thanks
Karsten

This functionality was introduced in JPA 2.0 primarily to provide a mechanism to write type-safe, dynamic queries. This generated metamodel would be referenced by your criteria queries, so if you had any and the metamodel was removed, those queries would no longer compile.

There is a lot of info on this topic on the web. I can also use this opportunity to plug my favorite JPA 2.0 book - "Pro JPA 2" by Keith/Schincariol.
