Doctrine2 generate entities with setters and getters - php

Question

I've successfully installed and used doctrine according to this article: Getting started with Doctrine.
Now I want to reverse engineer an existing database. I tried running the following command:
php vendor/doctrine/orm/bin/doctrine orm:convert-mapping --from-database annotation entity/generated
and that generated entity files with the correct annotations. However, I want to generate the setters and getters instead of having to code them myself.
Many people are referring to this article: How to generate Entities from an Existing Database. The first command in the article is:
php app/console doctrine:mapping:import --force AcmeBlogBundle xml
I cannot find the app folder nor the console file from the installation of Symfony and Doctrine. My composer.json file contents are:
{
"require": {
"doctrine/orm": "2.4.*",
"symfony/yaml": "2.*"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {"": "src/"}
}
}
I got this from the Getting Started with Doctrine article. Am I missing a dependency in my composer.json file? Where can I find app/console?
EDIT 1:
Paul Andrieux, I added "symfony/framework-standard-edition": "2.5.*" to my composer.json file. Now I have a folder vendor/framework-standard-edition. This contains an app folder which contains the console file. However, I get an error for because the "console" script is attempting "require_once DIR.'/bootstrap.php.cache'" and the bootstrap.php.cache does not exist. What should this file contain? do I need to create it myself? What other steps should I take after creating or acquiring this file?

I found way to generate Getter & Setters just use Doctrine ORM.
you should use orm:convert-mapping generate XML mapping file then use orm:generate-entities generate XML to PHP class
orm:convert-mapping [--filter FILTER] [-f|--force] [--from-database] [--extend [EXTEND]] [--num-spaces [NUM-SPACES]] [--namespace [NAMESPACE]] [--] <to-type> <dest-path>
orm:generate-entities [--filter FILTER] [--generate-annotations [GENERATE-ANNOTATIONS]] [--generate-methods [GENERATE-METHODS]] [--regenerate-entities [REGENERATE-ENTITIES]] [--update-entities [UPDATE-ENTITIES]] [--extend EXTEND] [--num-spaces NUM-SPACES] [--no-backup] [--] <dest-path>
A. My composer.json (I'm use doctrine 2.5.*)
...
"require": {
"doctrine/orm": "^2.5"
},
...
B. Config cli tools
My cli-config.php
NOTE: use method createXMLMetadataConfiguration NOT createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration
<?php
$db = [
// ...
];
$paths = [ __DIR__ . '/../Model/'];
// this place should use function Setup::createXMLMetadataConfiguration
$config = \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Setup::createXMLMetadataConfiguration($paths, false);
$entityManager = \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager::create($db, $config);
return \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\ConsoleRunner::createHelperSet($entityManager);
C. generate XML
php vendor/bin/doctrine orm:convert-mapping -f --namespace='Model\' --from-database xml app/Model
path app/Model must match you paths when set in file cli-config.php
D. generate PHP class
php vendor/bin/doctrine orm:generate-entities --generate-annotations="true" app/
this will generate the right content and right namespace to what you want

According to your composer.json file, you didn't install symfony2, only it's yaml component.
Just follow this guide if you want to install symfony2 full stack: http://symfony.com/get-started
