I have to map two components of the same type, but hibernate maps them with the same name! Using Xdoclet, what happens is that I have two identical "component" elements inside my mapping document, so Hibernate throws

Hibernate lazy instantiation problem: Repeated column in mapping for class ... should be mapped with insert="false" update="false": propertyName
Here's the repeated element: (they only differs for the component name, of course, but the property are (and should be, I think) the same!!!)

<component name="normalizedDestination"
class="com.set.costamorena.server.business.data.GISNormalizedAddress"
>
<property
name="latitude"
type="java.lang.Long"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="latitude"
/>

<property
name="longitude"
type="java.lang.Long"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="longitude"
/>

</component>
Any ideas ?
Thanks

The pb is that column should be different in your case. I don't think this is doable with xdoclet right now.

should I write somethibg like:

<component name="normalizedDestination" class="...">
<property name="latitude" column="destinationLatitude" />
<property name="longitude" column="destinationLongitude"/>
</component>

<component name="normalizedOrigin" class="...">
<property name="latitude" column="originLatitude" />
<property name="longitude" column="originLongitude"/>
</component>

that's right ?? But as you say it seems to be impossible using Xdoclet!! What then ?? I started using Xdoclet and I fount it a very nice of describing OR mappings...
Maybe I should use margeFiles, but I made some tries without results!! ant seem to ignore whatever i put in the mergefile... some hints about this ??
Thanks a lot

You will need to use mergefiles for this - remember that you need to put the mergefiles in a directory structure under the mergedir, according to your class package. So if you class is de.test.BlaBla and your mergedir ist /mergedir, you will need a directory structure like this:
/mergedir/de/test/<BlaBla-Mergexile>

Thank you very much! Your hint was very useful. I only have one more question: my components definition is inside a joined-subclass element:

<class A>
...
<joined-subclass ...B>
<component>

.........
</component>
<component>

.........
</component>
</joined-subclass>
</class>

So I think to proceed this way:
eliminate the xdoclet tag for one of the components;
put the xml component definition in a merge file hibernate-properties-A.xml
but this (of course) puts the definition of the component inside the A mapping!! Putting the definition in hibernate-properties-B.xml has no result!!

xdoclet usually places a comment in the xml files describing how to call your mergefiles to generate output at a specific place. If there is no such comment in the generated file where you want to have your component mapping, you will have to use uglier methods like putting your whole subclass mapping in the mergefile ...

In fact there is a comment, but only at class definition level, so I think as you suggest to put the whole subclass def in the merge file, even if this doesn't like me too much !!
