Seeking insights on embedding elide in JVM languages without annotations support

[Nitinrajyadav]

Hi @rsrini7 thanks for making this codebase open-source, it's been helpful!.

I have an application that is build in Cold-fusion[A JVM language].
It used hibernate under the hood for Entity-management by generating the hb.xml to get around the annotations.

I'm looking if there are any possibilities to use elide in the same fashion to create a read-only API; so far I haven't found anything approachable(P.S I'm not a native JAVA developer).

If possible, can you please share some insights or directions.

Hi @Nitinrajyadav , elide has elide-spring sub-project and supports only spring boot. If you are looking to support old way of hibernate xml files please check below stack overflow.

Few more ideas:

1. Write custom store on top of latest JPAStore and convert the hibernate to elide entities (I customized noopstore & transaction)
   Also, till hibernate-5 hbm files are still supported. so writing custom store can achieve this. (version 6 hibernate introducing extensions and this approach will be deprecated)
2. Convert hbm to annotations (not that easy) try https://github.com/SchweizerischeBundesbahnen/hibernate_hbm2annotation
