The addition of a version tag seems to have caused some errors in my Hibernate mappings (Hibernate v2.0.3). Is this correct?

<version
name="updateSequence"
column="UPDATE_SEQUENCE"
type="long">
</version>

Any help would be appreciated. I am currently getting the error below:

15:20:08,255 ERROR XMLHelper:37 - Error parsing XML: XML InputStream(97)

The non-CVS version of the DTD has no additional tags possible in the version attribute. So use this:
<version
name="updateSequence"
column="UPDATE_SEQUENCE"
type="long"
/>

Your original approach will work with the lastest version of the DTD b5/b6.

That works beautifully! I also moved the version tag up in front of the property tags.

Thanks for the quick reply.
