Whether you start with the database or start with code, no one wants to do the other one. Certainly by the DRY principle it is a waste of time and potentially a place where you could introduce bugs into your code. Today Dave and I are releasing a command-line utility that will handle the case where you start with the database and want to use JPA to access it. There are other utilities that do this that are generally built into IDEs, however this one fills the niche for those that want to do it in a more automated fashion and don’t want to edit the actual generated code. In fact, we used a previous version of this tool at Gauntlet throughout the development process to keep our database and JPA classes in sync with one another.
