I am using MyEclipse 7.5 and am using EclipseLink to do some JPA work with an Oracle database. Is there any way to get the reverse-engineer process to put annotations on the fields of a class rather than on the properties? Currently, the annotations are put on the “get” methods. I prefer the other style.

Thanks.

Tom,

Currently there is no way to do this in MyEclipse. I have filed an enhancement request for this, but cannot provide a time line detailing when this feature will be available.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I need to be able to do the same thing (annotations on the fields instead of the getters).

The reason I want to do this is because I don’t want Hibernate to use the setters whenever data is read from the database. In my case this would cause data to be changed on a read.

This would be a useful feature. Maybe you could use the Hibernate Reverse Engineering tool, then scrub the output .java file (by move the annotations from getters methods to the field variables).
