Our code base is heavily invested in some of the functionality removed =
from torque 4.0 and I was wondering if any one had some advice on a =
migration path:

We make extensive use of village records obtained via =
BasePeer.doSelect(Criteria), for example. Those results could probably =
be considered a view of the data and I am wondering if that would be the =
correct/recommended/best approach.
We have added our own caching implementation (configurable via the =
schema definition) to the Object.vm and Peer.vm templates. I have read =
through the new generator documentation and the customization part of =
the OR Mapping Reference =
(https://db.apache.org/torque/torque-4.0/documentation/orm-reference/custo=
mizing-generation.html =
<https://db.apache.org/torque/torque-4.0/documentation/orm-reference/custo=
mizing-generation.html>) but I don=E2=80=99t seem to be able to find the =
relevant information to put it all together. Basically, I would like to =
override one or more templates. I think I know how to specify that in an =
outlet, but do I also need the control configuration in the conf =
directory? The maven plugin (we use maven) has configuration parameters =
for overrideConfigDir and overrideConfigPackage=E2=80=A6 do I need to =
set those?
This is more of a maven question, maybe, alas I have the feeling it =
isn=E2=80=99t actually possible to implement through it, but is there a =
way to skip the code generation steps if the schema sources have not =
changed?
I know how to configure logging for the generator, but the switch =
between loglevel WARN and INFO is quite severe. Is there a way to log at =
INFO level but only to a file, not to the console? We use log4j =
throughout our project.

Thanks very much in advance for any advice and pointers!

cheers,
h.
