Hibernate version: 3.0.5
Hibernate tools version: current cvs from yesterday

Just want to tell you guys and max how the templatepaths in
the hibernatetools task work.

Here is the code from ant:



It will do this:
1. open a connection to my database
2. get a list of all tables
3. generate hbm files using the reveng file
4. generate java class using the velocity file pojo/javaclass.vm
this has to be below the templatepath here: ${project.dir}/tstdata/ant/erk

If you are content with defaults you do not need templatepath and reveng files. The default pojo/javaclass.vm is in hibernatetools.jar

thats really a fine tool!

@max: can you add some lines to doc? there is no hint about templatepath expecting a velocity file in pojo/javaclass.vm.

Hi,

I am not clear if this tool is just reading from the database or if its also trying to issue some create comands.

I had this error:

Caused by: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybSQLException: The 'CREATE TABLE' command is
not allowed within a multi-statement transaction in the 'tempdb' database.

Which makes me think that its issuing some create commands. Same for
<hbm2ddl outputFileName="temp.txt"/>

Any idea?

Thanks!

thank you steck.

If you have time it would be great if you simply just added a patch for the docs describing this to the jira - thank you!

And milasx, what you are seeing is sybase which for reasons unknown to me apparently want to execute "something" when we ask for columns on a table. Look for the exception on google and you should be able to find how to workaround it (something like "enable ddl in transaction"...

but rest assured that only schemaexport with export="true" is actually executing create/alter statements - the rest is pure reading

How is this executed as an ant task?

you put the <hjbernatetool> into your build.xml and run ant.

see details about it in the docs.
