Hi,

In one of my hbm.xml files I had this:

<version name="updateVersion"
column="updateVersion"
type="long"
length="20"/>


Deploying, I got the following message:

15:52:09,306 ERROR [XMLHelper] Error parsing XML: XML InputStream(36) Attribute
"length" must be declared for element type "version".

I found out that the version tag does not include any length property. When I removed the length property it went through.

This seems to be an erroneous error message, right ;-)

Big chance that somebody posted this before, sorry in that case.

I tried to search the forum. Is there a way to search on a complete phrases like "must be declared for element type"?

Best regards

FYI, this is technically a correct message since it is the underlying XML parser error message. It is basically stating that, according to the DTD in use, the attribute "length" is not defined for the element named "version" and must therefore be declared (i.e., declared in the DTD).

OK, thanks ... yeah now I see it.

Could do with a message saying something like...

"length not a valid attribute for element type version" or the like....

But what the heck.

Thanks for your response

Lasse
