[Middlegen-user] insertion points for custom domain/business logic

[Bill Schneider]

Hello,

How does Middlegen allow for the insertion of custom domain logic or
business logic in generated classes when using the Hibernate plugin?
Taking the Middlegen sample application (airline reservations) as a
starting point: let's say I want the generated Flight object to have an
additional getter method:

public long getFlightDuration() {
return getArrivalUtc().getTime() - getDepartureUtc().getTime();
}

How do I do that? Normally I'd expect to do something like that with
XDoclet merge files, but I don't see exactly where that happens in the
process. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me understand how
this might work.
