Hey guys!
I have a problem with my hibernate config for a list:
it says I don't use the right child elements for the <list> xml
element.
...but i can't see anything wrong.
It's surely my fault, but could someone still point
me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot!

try this...

<list name="fields">
<key column="CATALOGMODEL_ID"/>
<list-index column="field_index"/>
<one-to-many class="Field"/>
</list>

(define key before index...)

incredible, that did the trick ;)
thanks a lot for the quick answer!

why do they check the order of the XML elements?
doesn't make much sense to me...

anyway, the non-working example
(with <list-index> before <key>)
was copied straight
out of the book "hibernate quickly" from manning books.
it's strange that would not run...

thanks again

no problem. the order of elements in the mapping is defined by the dtd so i guess the example you were following was mistaken.
