Looking for a rich example of Hibernate XDoclet relations

I am looking for examples of how to express relations with Hibernate XDoclet tags. I don't care for the hbm files, I only want to use XDoclet tags.

It would be good if a example would be existing with a rich Model which contains all kinds of relations. Can you tell me one?

I looked at workshop_toolset_java.tar.gz, but it does not help me. It has only a few simple relations.

It would take long to explain my problem. So I hope you can tell me a example where I can look if my problem has been solved in that rich example.

A "relation" is something different, what you mean is "relationship". Mapping class associations with XDoclet is the same as mapping them in Hibernate XML files. Learn that first and then use the XDoclet tags 1:1 as you would use the XML elements.

Maybe someone can donate a example Domain Model with many different kinds of relationsships if you don't have one. Its easier for me to look in existing code and to learn from that than to read a reference. Thats why I ask.

Of course I can help myself the way you suggest. And I will do it this way as long as I don't find such an example Domain Model with Hibernate XDoclet tags.

Its no critique, just a question to the community.

You are part of that community. Just go ahead and add to the Wiki pages about XDoclet.

Maybe I do it when I am finished with my little domain model (Person, User, Usergroup, Address, Country, PhoneNumber, FaxNumber, Password and EmailAddress).

Perhaps you can go a little bit more fine-grained by adding a Name class (first, middle, last), and make it an attribute of Person
