Good day,

Does anyone know how one should map a Vector in Hibernate? I'm trying to generate a mapping file using XDoclet, but tried @hibernate.list, @hibernate.collection etc. Nothing seems to do the trick - The generated Hibernate mapping files look good; DDL looks good, but I get CGLIB related errors when trying to persist the objects.

I searched the web and tried many samples, but no luck so far on finding anyone who tried persisting a Vector...?

Any advice would be great.

If anyone could point to a good resource for XDoclet - Hibernate tag documentation that would also be great.

Someone should write a book about this stuff.

Thanks,
Jacobus

Use Java2 Collections API. (We are at Java 5 soon.)

Thanks Gavin. I'm not quite sure what you mean or how I should go about implementing the mapping, but I'll have a look at the Java 2 Collections API.

Thanks again!

P.s. I'm reading the Hibernate book you are working on through Manning and it's a neat piece of work. An example with XDoclet would come in handy in the Tools chapter.

Vector is a legacy collection. It has been completly been redesigned by Sun for the JDK 1.2 (aka Java 2). In a word, don't use vector.

Thanks all
