I'm running Hibernate 2.1 with Middlegen-Hibernate R4 plugin. I'm attempting to complete a tutorial by Tyler Pitchford (http://www.warfrog.com/hibernatetutorial/)

Anyway, I've got a local HSQL database server running locally and I can connect the GUI to that server with no problems (in Server mode), however, when I run ANT to launch middlegen, it says that it's connecting and reading all tables from the database, but it just gets stuck and never returns - here's the output of the ant script with -verbose setting. Please give me a clue on what's hanging it up:

---------------------

I have no idea why it is having a problem. I usually use HSQL when doing dev work on Middlegen., Please note there is a R5 release. Even better is to use the CVS version - a release is way behind schedule. For now - get R5 release from Hibernate SF downloads - its all setup for a quick setup and test.

Also you may want to consider hibernate tools - especially if your using H3.x and on.

Tell me more: what do you mean hibernate tools - is this different from the Hibernate-MiddlegenPlugin that I'm using?!

http://tools.hibernate.org

similiar functionallity than middlegen, but has more functionallity, is updated an actively developed.

Ok - I finally figured it out - here's a description of the resolution in case someone else has similar problems with hibernate-middlegen plugin.

I believe the core issue was with the incorrect JDBC driver settings. In my case there was a wrong setting in the database.driver.file property in my hsqldb.xml file which was pointing to a JAR inside Middlegen directory (apparently not a correct driver)... the property SHOULD have been pointing at the hsqldb.jar file in the /lib/hsql directory instead - which contains the RIGHT jdbc driver.

Once I found that and corrected the entry, then Middlegen was able to connect without a prolem and it's all good for now.

I love it when I can solve my own problems... :) Best of luck to all -

Great - thanks for the followup.
