Hello folks,

I am using xdoclet to generate an array mapping as such:

/**
* @hibernate.array role="agentcies" table="AGENTCY"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="ADDRESS_ID"
* @hibernate.collection-index column="ROW_NUM"
* @hibernate.collection-one-to-many class="com.pmt.bom.soap.Agentcy"
*/

which generates:

<array
name="agentcies"
table="AGENTCY"
inverse="false"
cascade="none"
>
<key column="ADDRESS_ID"/>
<index column="ADDRESS_ID"/>
<one-to-many class="com.pmt.bom.soap.Agentcy"/>
</array>

All seems well. Now when I deploy to jboss (3.2.2RC3) and my mapping file is parsed I get an exception as such:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Attribute "inverse" must be declared for element type "array".
at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:232)

This happens everywhere I have an array type defined. Any ideas?

Ok, I found the problem. The xdoclet tag @hibernate.array is creating an inverse attribute dispite the fact that it breaks the dtd for the array element. So is this a bug or am I missing something?

Well, using arrays for associations is not really a good thing, so the dtd doesn't have an inverse attribute. I don't think theres any especially compelling reason for that, however.
