With generated Java source code, like
- code generated with Hibernate tools
- code generated with JAXB schema binding (xjc)
- code generated with WDSL2Java (cxf)
all generated classes are "value object" types, without business logic. And if I add methods to the generated source code, I will loose these methods if I repeat the source code generation.
Do these Java code generation tools offer ways to "extend" the generated code?
For example,
- to override the ToString method (for logging)
- to implement the visitor pattern (for data analysis / validation)
