Abator - Generated beans extend a base model?

[maomaode <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I ready have a base model, and is it possible to generate the java beans 
and those beans extend the base model?

Let say i have a blog.post table, and abator will generate a Post bean, 
but most of the attributes in the Post, already exist in Entry class

So, I'm wondering, if it's possible to customize the generated Post 
bean, and generate a bean like this

public class Post extends Entry {
 ...
}

Thanks in advance,
James

Oh, great, thanks, I thought it's in the table, ok, Now, it's clear, but 
i think if it'll be greater if it's in the table level

I can use *ignore*, to exclude those methods, right?

I'll give it a try.

Thanks

you can use the rootClass attribute.

    <javaModelGenerator targetPackage="com.xx.yyy"
targetProject="ForeSight" >
        <property name="rootClass" value="
com.foresight.base.AbstractBaseModel" />
    </javaModelGenerator>

it will do the "public class Post extends Entry ..." stuff. but it will also
override all the methods even if those exist in the parent class.
