Re: [eclipselink-users] Generate orm.xml from Database schema

[James Sutherland <jamesssss@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you can't find an tool that does this, you may be able to leverage some
code in EclipseLink to do this.  Because EclipseLink uses EclipseLink Moxy
to read in the orm.xml, it also means we can write it back out.  If you have
an annotated model (such as generated from Dali), you could attempt to use
EclipseLink to write it out to orm.xml.  Refer to the class,
XMLEntityMappingsWriter in EclipseLink, it probably will not be trivial, but
should be possible, I think.
