Hibernate Mapping file generation using hbm2hbmxml tool

Sukirtha · **Posted:** Mon Feb 25, 2008 2:28 am

I am trying to generate mapping file using the hbm2hbmxml tool. My understanding is that the tool generates .hbm.xml files given a property file containing the schema and dialect details. I have written an ant task to invoke the tool. The task executes without any error. However, no hibernate mapping files are generated. What am I missing. Since there are no errors, I am unable to find out where I am wrong.

Here is the ant task :

Code:

<taskdef name="hibernatetool" classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask" classpathref="toolslib" /> 
   <hibernatetool destdir="generated"> 
      <configuration propertyfile="hibernate.properties"/> 
      <hbm2hbmxml/> 
   </hibernatetool> 

The hiberate.properties file holds the schema, driver class, user name, password and the dialect.

Where am I wrong. Please help!

Use <jdbcconfiguration> if you want to do reverse engineering.

A <configuration> expects hbm.xml's to have the mappings.
