From ant I have tried:

<hbm2doc destdir="./javadoc" dot.executable="c:/Graphviz/bin/dot.exe" />

and

<hbm2doc destdir="./javadoc">
<property name="dot.executable" value="c:/Graphviz/bin/dot.exe"/>
</hbm2doc>

In both cases I get something like:

Class org.hibernate.tool.ant.Hbm2DocExporterTask doesn't support the "dot.executable" attribute. I would like to generate:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools ... hgraph.jpg

as described in Hibernate Tools b9:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/tools ... beta9.html

Thanks, BenG.

wrong.



correct. but it won't give the following error:

Indeed, the exception I get is:

Class org.apache.tools.ant.types.Environment$Variable doesn't support the "name" attribute.

Thanks, BenG.

try:

<property key="....

Thanks Max, that did it.

Now at runtime I am seeing this exception. I am thinking this is related to our DB2 tables using fun chars like # and @ in the physical table and field names?

yes...we need to escape those "weird" characters out....


who uses # and @ in their table names anyhow ? :)

You should see the neck ties we wear ...

I've tried escaping the table/field names containing # with \u0023 and \# but this doesn't work well. Do you think this is something we can mod in the hbm2doc codes? Perhaps I can help. Thanks, BenG.

the fix needs to go into dot/tablegraph.dot.ftl where you can see we already replaces . with _

You would need to do similar things with # and @ (and find a unique mapping to it)

patch welcome ;)

Max, we were able to remove our wacky # and @ chars with a sed script. Then gen'd javadoc with:

<hbm2doc destdir="./javadoc">
<property key="dot.executable" value="c:/Graphviz/bin/dot.exe" />
</hbm2doc>

What appear to hang actually completes after 100m 45s without errors, but the image produced is empty - debug ideas? Thanks!

100 minutes ? daaamn.

have you tried using dot.exe directly on the generated .dot file and see if any kind of output can get out ?
