Re: [wtp-dev] DALI : How to Map Existing POJO to Tables

[NEIL.HAUGE@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

This question is better suited for the newsgroup so everyone will see the answer, but here is a quick pointer and a response for you.  First, take a look at some project configuration comments here - http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=301&group=eclipse.technology.dali#301.

The options you mention are not currently available in the WTP 2.0 stream, and the documentation you are looking at only applies to 0.5.  To configure your Entities in Dali 1.0 (WTP 2.0), make sure you have done the steps above in the newsgroup post and then open the JPA Perspective.  From here you can make any existing Java class an Entity via the JPA Details view.  To create a new Entity, just create a new Java class and use the Details view "Map As:" selection to make it an Entity. 

We should have updated documentation posted shortly.

Neil
