Is schemaexport documented somewhere?

If so, I'm unable to find it :(

Thanks, I just found it

Still I have some questions: I'm not using a hibernate.properties, instead everything is configured with my hibernate.cfg.xml file, can I specify that one instead?

Also: in the documentation only jdbc is explained, can you also use a JNDI datasource instead?

Yes, the option is "--config=hibernate.cfg.xml", I just added it to the documentation. Well, you may propably also use the JNDI bound SessionFactory, but have to bind it yourself before calling SchemaExport.

thanks!

Anyway, still a problem:

I guess I have to setup a pathreference in my build file, however I'm not so sure how to do that when my hibernate2.jar is in my $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory. Any tips?

Yes, set up your class path in the build file. And don't place Hibernate or anything else (only JDBC drivers) in the common/lib under Tomcat.

sorry, to be so ignorant, but do you have an example on how to setup a classpath? Do you have to reference just your extension directory or the particular .jar files?

And where do I place my hibernate2.jar? in my WEB-INF/lib dir?

Read the "Hibernate & Tomcat Quickstart" article. If you'd like to have a copy paste example and the existing one on the Wiki community area is not good enough, you have to wait another hour. I'm just preparing the slides from our Toolset workshop for the website.

I cannot find it *yet*, so an cut 'n past example would be nice. Take your time though, I'm not in a hurry :)

Another quick question: is it possible to just let it generate the script and not executing it?

thanks, found it (should have looked better...)

started fiddling around with this classpath thingy, have now this:

Code:

<target name="create-database" depends="compile, generate-mappings"> 

  <classpath>
      <pathelement path="${lib.home}"/>
      <pathelement location="hibernate2.jar"/>
    </classpath> 

<taskdef name="schemaexport"
     classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask"
     classpathref="class.path"/>

 <schemaexport
     config="${src.home}/hibernate.cfg.xml"
     quiet="no"
     text="yes"
     drop="no"
     format="yes"
     delimiter=";"
     output="${build.home}/schema-export.sql">
     <fileset dir="${build.home}">
         <include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
     </fileset>
 </schemaexport> 
</target> 

lib.home is defined here:

Code:

but then I get the following error:

this doesn't work either:

Code:

<taskdef name="schemaexport"
     classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask"
     classpath="${lib.home}/hibernate2.jar"/>

also have tried this:

Code:

  <path id="class.path">
     <pathelement location="${lib.home}/hibernate2.jar"/>
  </path>

in combination with:

Code:

<taskdef name="schemaexport"
     classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask"
     classpathref="class.path"/>

without luck :(

Thanks, but haven't found any reference or example of this class.path?

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass :(
