Hi,

Whenever a timestamp property is added to a class' mapping the exception is raised (see below). The exception is raised but execution continues and, seemingly, everything works fine despite the exception.

Mapping:


Exception:
14:53:54,578 ERROR XMLHelper:37 - Error parsing XML: XML InputStream(42)
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "class" must match "(meta*,(cache|jcs-cache)?,(id|composite-id),discriminator?,(version|timestamp)?,(property|many-to-one|one-to-one|component|dynabean|any|map|set|list|bag|idbag|array|primitive-array)*,(subclass*|joined-subclass*))".

The <version> or the <timestamp> property,eg, which ever is used, must be present before the persistent field properties are declared in the mapping file.

Thanks, it worked. I did not see this requirement in the docs though ...

Thats because it is standard DTD requirement. Child elements in a document must appear in the order they are defined in the DTD.

Nothing to do with Hibernate...
