Thanks to “kdub(kdub’s log)”:http://www.jroller.com/page/kwiersma/20030519#hibernate_xdoclet_tutorial, I spotted Mark Eagle’s tutorial on using “XDoclet and Hibernate(Object to Relational Mapping and Relationships with Hibernate)”:http://www.meagle.com:8080/hibernate.jsp (warning: seems to be running of someones app server on port 8080 – I’m grabbing a copy in case it vanishes). If it works as advertised then it could really speed up development time for me. Rather than generating the JavaBean from the mapping files, it generates the mapping file from the JavaBean sources. I’ll let you know how well it works…

_Updated 9:35am_: As feared, the site hosting Mark’s tutorial has gone AWOL. I’ll attempt to contact him to see if he wants me to host it for him…
