[XDoclet] how to map properties to a composite-id ?

I would like to know what attribute metadata i need to map my properties to a composite-id.

I'll be including more information tomorrow.

[offtopic] i would like to know why my hibernate-properties-className.xml files from the mergeDir aren't merged... [/offtopic]

You place the property markup with each key field on the key's java file. There is no XDoclet support for integrated composite keys.

As a result of not being able to map a composite-id with XDoclet, i would like to include the mapping from the mergeDir.

I got this idea from the following lines form the generated .hbm.xml file;

Quote:

To add non XDoclet property mappings, create a file named
hibernate-properties-ClassName.xml
containing the additional properties and place it in your merge dir.

I excluded any @hibernate tags dealing with id's so i got no id in the generated .hbm.xml file. I put the following xml in my hibernate-properties-ClassName.xml (it's in the /etc dir):

Code:

<composite-id>
   <key-many-to-one class="ClassA" name="a" column="a"/>
   <key-many-to-one class="ClassB" name="b" column="b"/>
</composite-id>

The following lines are from my build.xml:

Code:

<hibernatedoclet
   destdir="${classes}"
   excludedtags="@version,@author,@todo,@since"
   force="false"
   mergedir="${basedir}/etc"
   verbose="true">
   <fileset dir="${src}">
      <include name="**/*Impl.java"/>
   </fileset>
   <hibernate version="2.0"/>
</hibernatedoclet>

i can't seem to get it included. :/
Pls tell me your thoughts on this mather...

... i forgot to include the right package dirs :/ stupid me...

now i do have a real problem,

XDoclet complains about not having an hibernate.id set, while that was my hole intention...

Is there are reason you have chosen to use integrated composite keys?
It is not the recommended approach (see HIA for an explanation).

However, if you like to have integrate composite keys ( although highly unrecommendet ) pos support issue for xdoclet-2 plugin
( see signature )

and I will implement it to you.
