Hi everybody,
i am using hibernate tools and i have a problem: when configuring "Hibernate code generation", the "reveng strategy" path is not found and a classNotFoundException is displayed. I searched in the hibernate library in JRE and i didn't find the class org.hibernate.cfg.reveng.ReverseEngineeringStrategy How can i download this package ????????? Thank you.

it is in hibernate-tools.jar


(btw. it sounds like you are using an old version of hibernate tools)

thank you max,
but i don't know why it is not working and the ClassNotFoundException appears my tools version is 3.1.0.beta3 !!!!!! the question is how to tell hibernate tools the path of the reverseEngineering class ?????

beta3 ? why are you not using beta5?

i am downloading beta5 and will reply , thank you

Thank you very much. Beta5 solved the problem bbut i have another problem:
"sessionFactoryError: component class not found"
despite this class is located where others are visible

this is very strange

note that this class has no hbm.xml file beacause it is a composite id class

what is the stacktrace?

and is that class part of the console configuration classpath ?

All the sibling of the invisible class are visible and this is the strange thing also the classpath is fine

what is the stack trace?

how can i see the stack trace

look in the Error Log View

thank you very much
this problem is solved i wrote the mappings in the cnfg file instead of adding them to the wizard and i added parameters for package, class and resources to each mapping tag

now there is another problem:

when expanding the tree of the database to view fields for type mappings and table/column configuration, the tree views only tables and cannot view fields

huh ? I don't understand what part of what you did should fix a missing class problem ?

And the last part can be alot of things ...but mostly something to do with your db and/or driver...which are you using ?

Hi max,

i am using oracle driver "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
The strange thing is that the tree of the hibernate console configuration shows columns perfectly but the Reverse Engineering Editor trees, show only tables names without their columns

Another problem is that global type mappings doesn't apply to the hbm.xml files when using reverse engineering to generate them... instead it uses the default types mapping

thank you

Show me your reveng.xml and your hibernate.cfg.xml/hibernate.properties and i'll see why.
