While trying to generate hibernate mappings for my POJOS using XDoclet 1.2, I was surprised to see that some xml tags were not handled by XDoclet. I checked XDoclet documentation, and open issues on <a href="http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/secure/ViewIssue .jspa?key=XDT-803">JIRA</a> and I found many developpers asking for extentions to handle these tags. The easiest way to get them generated was to edit XDoclet Module for Hibernate templates. My <a href="http://jroller.com/page/irbouho/20040227#xdoclet_and_hibernate_2_ 1">web log entry</a> show more details ont this.
