Symfony2, Sonata MediaBundle : add new fields to table - php

Question

I'm trying to add 4 new fields in Sonata MediaBundle for the GalleryHasMedia.
I correctly override the GalleryHasMediaAdmin :
To override it i added in services.yml this line :
parameters:
sonata.media.admin.gallery_has_media.class: Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Admin\GalleryHasMediaAdmin
I had to create the methods manually (getName and else) since php app/console doctrine:generate:entities ApplicationSonataMediaBundle:GalleryHasMedia
apparently not caring about my new fields set in my custom entity Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity\GalleryHasMedia.
As well --dump-sql return "Nothing to update". But the methods (getName and else) are correctly recognize in the Sonata admin, so why not the new fields?
here my custom entity :
<?php
namespace Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity\BaseGalleryHasMedia as BaseGalleryHasMedia;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="media__gallery_media")
*/
class GalleryHasMedia extends BaseGalleryHasMedia
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=64, nullable=false, name="name")
**/
private $name;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=64, nullable=false, name="activity")
**/
private $activity;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="text", nullable=false, name="description")
*/
private $description;
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=255, nullable=false, name="code")
**/
private $link;
/**
* Get id
*
* #return integer $id
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**
* Set name
*
* #param string $name
* #return GalleryHasMedia
*/
public function setName($name)
{
$this->name = $name;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get name
*
* #return string
*/
public function getName()
{
return $this->name;
}
/**
* Set activity
*
* #param string $activity
* #return GalleryHasMedia
*/
public function setActivity($activity)
{
$this->activity = $activity;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get activity
*
* #return string
*/
public function getActivity()
{
return $this->activity;
}
/**
* Set description
*
* #param string $description
* #return GalleryHasMedia
*/
public function setDescription($description)
{
$this->description = $description;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get description
*
* #return string
*/
public function getDescription()
{
return $this->description;
}
/**
* Set link
*
* #param string $link
* #return GalleryHasMedia
*/
public function setLink($link)
{
$this->link = $link;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get link
*
* #return string
*/
public function getLink()
{
return $this->link;
}
}
And i correctly set as said in their Documentation :
sonata_media:
# if you don't use default namespace configuration
class:
media: Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity\Media
gallery: Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity\Gallery
gallery_has_media: Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity\GalleryHasMedia
I'm using auto mapping so my custom entity is correctly mapped :
[OK] Application\Sonata\MediaBundle\Entity\GalleryHasMedia
here the actual table (sonata's default table) :
So any ideas why i can't add any new fields to the gallery_has_media table?
UPDATE :
I'm guessing it is because i'm using annotations. How can i keep using annotations and makes it sync with my database?

Okay, i found the answer correctly explained here.
Deleting Application/Sonata/MediaBundle/Resources/config/doctrine allowed me to use annotations inside my custom entity.
