I'm trying to use the hibernate/jboss and xdoclet/hibernate tutorials to create simple .hbm.xml files. Although jboss-service.xml gets created, the .hbm.xml file doesn't. Getting this to work is a real time-killer. I would greatly appreciate someone pointing out my mistake. I posted the important stuff down below. Many thanks to all who try.

Regards,
Itchy



HERE ARE THE TUTORIALS that I mentioned:

Hi,



this seems to be wrong for me. Try this:



use the ant <echo> tag to verify all you configured properties. You always refer properties with ${property.name} within ant.

My recomendations:

1) Read a ant tutorial. Get familar with it. It's great
2) Read a xdoclet tutorial.

BTW it's not a good idea to mix German and English phrases. This is awfull to read. Use http://dict.leo.org if you need a good dictionary.[/url]

tradem,

Thanks for your ideas. I've been trying many things for the past several weeks, but no luck yet. I have to say that creating a Hibernate application that runs on JBoss is like sorting through a train wreck. There are so many scattered bits of documentation and examples that need to be fused together.

One of these months I hope to actually write some business code. In the meantime, I do appreciate your help.

Itchy

Better documentation for JBoss and Hibernate is definitely high on the TODO list. Volunteers are welcome.

Christian Bauer,

I think merging the two products seems like a great decision. That is something that I'm sure you already know. But you need an idiot's guide for getting started. For example, I am trying to impliment Session Bean--calls-->DAO--calls-->Hibernate on JBoss. Luckily, I found a post on this forum that includes an example. Unfortunatly, as my post indicates, XDoclet isn't creating my hbm files. It also doesn't produce complete session bean descriptors. This attempt is really eating lots of time. A complete end-to-end example would be a big help.

As for purchasing support, at this point we are too low-budget for that. In fact, I'm spending lots of my own time trying to sort through all of this. Perhaps we'll discuss that in the future.

Regards,
Itchy

I'm not really talking about integration of Hibernate _into_ JBoss, I think we need more documentation how to simply _use_ Hibernate with JBoss. But I'm so busy and really burned out writing documentation and books, so it has to wait.

So, your problem is not JBoss or Hibernate, it is XDoclet.

Did you try tradem's suggestions? What output did you get from Ant?


Sherman

sgwood,

I did try using echo to verify my directory path settings. The output is as follows:

xdoclet:
[echo] Path : D:\jZUDIApp\MiddleTier\src\hibernate
[echo] Path : D:\jZUDIApp\MiddleTier\build\mappings

They paths are correct. I can't think of any other ways to use echo statements that would pertain. This is the only output that is produced--the XDoclet doesn't seem to run.

I have the following system variables set:
XDOCLET_HOME = F:\xdoclet121\lib
CLASSPATH = F:\Hibernate21; C:\j2sdk14204\lib\tools.jar

Here is the complete build.xml file in case you are interested...

Your problem has been answered elsewhere on the forums.

Change:



to:



You have exactly the same problem in ejbdoclet.

If you had run Ant with a -v option on the command line, you would have seen that no java file were being processed by hibernatedoclet and ejbdoclet.


Sherman

Using -v does provide valuable info in other areas, but the hibernatedoclet task (run from the xdoclet target) still doesn't produce much more than before:

xdoclet:
[echo] Path : D:\jZUDIApp\MiddleTier\src\hibernate
[echo] Path : D:\jZUDIApp\MiddleTier\build\mappings
Override ignored for property TODAY
Override ignored for property DSTAMP
Override ignored for property TSTAMP
Override ignored for property TODAY



Also, I did change to:

<fileset dir="${src.hibernate}">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>

but nothing changed. I've previously tried every format that I could think of. It either doesn't see the files or it doesn't find XDoclet. Does the CLASSPATH and XDOCLET_HOME that I posted above look right? Do I need to include any additional references to XDoclet class files or jars in build.xml or anywhere else?

That did the trick. Ulimately, I had to create a source directory that looks exactly like the build directory. I couldn't just rely on a simplified source directory structure.

ie.
D:\jZUDIApp\MiddleTier\src\com\kemaiev\jzudi\hibernate
instead of:
D:\jZUDIApp\MiddleTier\src\hibernate

Then, the fileset had to look like this:
<fileset dir="${src}">
<include name="**/hibernate/*.java"/>
</fileset>

This seems to be the only fileset format that works with XDoclet. Or at least, I couldn't find any others that worked.

Thanks a bunch sgwood and all others who posted.

Itchy
