Hello,

Please help... I can not generate a ".hbm.xml" file from a java source file ".java" using XDoclet1.2 with Hibernate3.1.2 using Apache-ant-1.6.5 running upon WindowsXP. When I run Ant I can see the following messages on the screen, but I do not see an expected ".hbm.xml" file as an output. Is there anything I'm missing here?

---- Screen -----
> ant xdoclet
Buildfile: build.xml

xdoclet:
[xdoclet] (XDocletMain.start 47 ) Running <hibernate/>

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds
---- End of Screen ----

Following is a snippet from build.xml I used for this:

<target name="xdoclet">
<taskdef name="xdoclet"
classname="xdoclet.modules.hibernate.HibernateDocletTask">
<classpath refid="classpath" />
</taskdef>
<xdoclet
destdir="${output}"
excludedtags="@version,@author,@todo"
force="false"
mergedir="${output}"
verbose="true">
<fileset dir="${src}">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
<hibernate version="3.0" />
</xdoclet>
</target>

I searched through all the information available in the Internet, read the book, Hibernate in action, and tried everything I could. However, I could not solve this problem even after spending 3 days; I'm completely exhausted and desperately need a help.

I really appreciate your help,
Keisuke Seya

Here a snipit from an older project. Most of the time it an environment issue.




and the Task


I do suggest you use XDoclet 1.2.3 or later. Best to use the CVS version for the latest support of H3 (until 1.3.x comes out).

BTW: Try the tools forum next time.

david,

Thank you for the snippet. I copied, modified, and put it into my build.xml but I still do not get the generated ".hbm.xml". I have "Message.java" under "src" directory and build.xml one directory above. Running Ant I'm hoping to get "Message.hbm.xml" under the src directory but I don't find any generated file there. I agree that most of the time it an environment issue, but I know Ant is finding "xdoclet.modules.hibernate.HibernateDocletTask" properly. Every time I run Ant with the command, "ant hbmxdoclet", I get "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" message.

I'm using the following snippet, which is basically identical to yours:

Taskdef


and Task


I tested the same build.xml with the same configuration (XDoclet1.2.3, Hibernate3.1.2, Apache-ant-1.6.5) upon both Linux and WinXP but no success. I have no clue for what's going here... Is there anything else I should check? I appreciate any advice.

BTW. I will post this kind of tool related topics to the TOOL forum next time.

By getting a strong help from david, I was able to identify the root cause of this problem. It was the "package" declaration that was causing this nasty problem. I would like to share my experience with people who would face to the same problem in future. Following is the story...

I had <property> tags in build.xml like below:



And the Java source code (partial) was like below



I put this source code under the "src" directory. It was wrong! ".hbm.xml" will be generated if one of the followings is deployed:

1) Create a new directory "src" under the "src" directory and put the source code under /src/src. By doing this Ant will understand that the source code is properly placed under the "src package".

2) Removed the line, "package src;", from the source code.
