Hi,

hbm2java is not generating finder method for me. It does generate finder class, but method I requested is not there.

Here is my hibernate mapping section:
########################
<class name="com.softpenter.dts.entitiesImpl.EmployerImpl" table="employers">

<id name="id" type="long">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>

<property name="name" type="string">
<meta attribute="finder-method">findByName</meta>
</property>

</class>
########################



hbm2java.config.xml
########################
<codegen>
<generate renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer"/>
<generate suffix="Finder" renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.FinderRenderer"/>
</codegen>
########################



The ant taks is:
########################
<target name="generatecode">
<java
classpathref="hibernate.tools.class.path"
classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.CodeGenerator"
fork="true">

<arg value="--config=hbm2java.config.xml"/>
<arg value="--output=${src.dir}"/>
<arg value="${src.dir}/hbm/*.hbm.xml"/>

</java>
</target>
########################



The generated code is:
########################
package com.softpenter.dts.entitiesImpl;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.List;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import net.sf.hibernate.*;
import net.sf.hibernate.type.Type;

/** Automatically generated Finder class for EmployerImplFinder.
* @author Hibernate FinderGenerator **/
public class EmployerImplFinder implements Serializable {

public static List findAll(Session session) throws SQLException, HibernateException {
List finds = session.find("from EmployerImpl in class com.softpenter.dts.entitiesImpl.EmployerImpl");
return finds;
}

}
########################


It only generates the find all method, not findByName method.

What am I missing?

I am using
hibernate - version 2.0.3, 27 August 2003
extensions - version 2.1 12. June 2003

Thanks,

Try to use "finder" instead of "finder-method".

If that works you are using a old version of hibernate extensions.

Thanks for help Max.

Using just finder instead of finder-method works.

I will update the extensions version as you suggested.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am using the latest build from sourceforge for hibernate extensions.
hibernate-ext 2.0 June 12, 2003

hibernate-extensions-2.0.zip
464 KB.

I am gettnig the finder / finder-method problem, while using this build.

Is this the latest build?
If not, how to get the latest?

Thanks,
Prashant Rane

hmm....CVS got the latest.

We should get a new release out of hibernate-extensions ASAP - right, Christian ? ;)

Eh, yes :)

I think the current release of hbm2java in Hibernate Extensions version 2.0.2 - 22.10.2003 is broken. I'm getting findAll methods (instead of the ones I specified in my hbm.xml file) and what is genereated has i0nvalid HQL. I've seen the previous posts about this issue, from Oct. 20th, and I'm having the same errors. I looked at the FinderRenderer source included with the 2.0.2 release and it still has the "finder" attribute and not "finder-method". I assume that the Oct 22nd release did not include the correct versions?

I'm sure this is fixed in CVS, but I cannot even successfully build the tools :-( Anyway, if someone has the latest hibernate-tools.jar on the web, please point me to it. Perhaps someone could update the tools release?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

the version of FinderRender that I just checked out of CVS still has "finder", not "finder-method".

Even after changing this and rebuilding, I'm still not getting the methods I expect.

I'm using Hibernate 2.1 - could there be some subtle incompatibility here?

I pulled down the latest release versions (2.1.2 of Hibernate, and 2.0.2 of Hibernate Extensions) and I still only get the finder generated stuff, not the finder-method.

And, FWIW, here's the generated code...
