Hi forum :)

I decided to move an application I make from version 2.0.3 to version 2.1.1
I started getting MappingException: duplicate import, on almost all my mapping files.

After some searching I found that I
-could not use sql-type attribute in a property that is inside a subclass. In a property outside the subclass it's fine.
-could not use sql-type attribute in many-to-one

examples:

Property inside a subclass
<property name="image1" sql-type="varchar(100)"/>
Ok in 2.0.3 not in 2.1.1

<many-to-one name="company" sql-type="varchar(32)" not-null="true"/>
Ok in 2.0.3 not in 2.1.1

Have anyone noticed similar?

Look at the hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd.

sql-type is only an attribute in the column element, which is used in a few places.

The way you are using it looks incorrect. You should be using the type attribute (+ length for string types).

You are right.. I have been violating the DTD all the time.

I guess I got confused by the exception; MappingException: duplicate import
It would be better with a message telling the real cause; sql-type is not allowed used in a property.

I changed to :

<many-to-one name="company">
<column name="company_id" sql-type="varchar(32)" not-null="true"/>
</many-to-one>

<property name="image1">
<column name="image1" sql-type="varchar(100)" not-null="false" />
</property>

which works well.

There actually should be such a message in your log, even though a little before the duplicate import error.

The spurious duplicate import error is a bug, we need to fix that.

I think this should be easy to patch, I added this to JIRA as HB-605

Thanks :)
