Custom Entity attribute names when Reverse Engineering Database?

[iojohnso]

Wondering if there is a way this can be accomplished with an existing config mechanism, or a adjustment of the dbre command...

Lets say I have an Employee table in our database, and using our naming conventions for column names we have the following columns...

- EmployeeID
- EmployeeFirstName
- EmployeeLastName

By default, when i dbre this table, it will give me the following attributes of the entity...

- employeeId
- employeeFirstName
- employeeLastName

So by default when i want to grab the employee id i have to reference it as employee.employeeId, and so on for the other attributes.

Preferably, I would like to be able to use employee.id instead.

Is there a way to have the dbre generate the following attribute names, without changing the column names in the table?

- id
- firstName
- lastName

Thanks,

Check out https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-2911
I was able to extend DBRE to allow remapping of table/entity names using regex and/or a groovy script and it might be possible to do something similar with column names

Thanks chorrylan, looks like this could be a solution.
