I'm trying to use the Hibernate ANT tasks to generate the model java compoents from my HBM files, per this link http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/refer ... tional-121 and its not working.

Hibernate version: 3.2.6 ga

Mapping documents:
User.hbm.xml
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.model.User" table="USERS">
<id name="id" type="int" column="USER_ID">
<meta attribute="scope-set">protected</meta>
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

UserDetail.hbm.xml
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.model.UserDetail" table="USER_DETAILS">
<id name="userDetailsId" type="int" column="USER_ID">
<generator class="foreign">
<param name="property">user</param>
</generator>
</id>
<one-to-one name="User" constrained="true"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:

Name and version of the database you are using:
HSQL

The message says it cannot find this class:

com.model.UserDetail

Are you certain that you've got the right package, and that it is available from the class path you passing to the hbm2java task?

That's what seems so weird to me. the task should be creating that class, but I believe it's failing... I'm just not sure why. I think I emulated the link I have in the o.p. exactly.

Chachany,

Wouldn't it be easier to write your java objects first and then have the hbm's generated from those? I feel this way because that's a lot easier than writing the hbm xml files. This tool will do that, and can also write your sql too: http://www.javatosql.com
