I have version coded as



in my mapping file?

Do I need something more??

I get a mapping exception when I include this version tag.

The error is:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "class" must match "(meta*,(cache|jcs-cache)?,(id|composite-id),discriminator?,(version|timestamp)?,(property|many-to-one|one-to-one|component|dynamic-component|any|map|set|list|bag|idbag|array|primitive-array)*,(subclass*|joined-subclass*))".


Any ideas?

Thanks

That looks like a good tag to me. Maybe you have it in the wrong place? Judging from the error, you've either left something out of your class mapping, or added something that shouldn't be there.

class tag problem: If I remove that then the the mapping is loaded fine, so I guess the class tag is fine.

Position: I am not sure, I will try and read some more.

Does anyone have any ideas how to read this error

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "class" must match "(meta*,(cache|jcs-cache)?,(id|composite-id),discriminator?,(version|timestamp)?,(property|many-to-one|one-to-one|component|dynamic-component|any|map|set|list|bag|idbag|array|primitive-array)*,(subclass*|joined-subclass*))".

I mean what does these characters mean: '*', and '?'. like we have '?' after discrimination, version|timestamp and cache|jcs-cache

thanks

If you post the whole mapping file, I'll see if I can find a problem. The mess in that error comes from the xml DTD file ( at http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibern ... ng-2.0.dtd ) that declares what the proper tags and elements are.

I screwed around with your (HUGE!) mapping file for a minute in Eclipse. When I moved the <version> tag up to just under the discriminator:



The xml errors that Eclipse shows went away. Maybe you can try that. I couldn't tell you why it might make a difference, though.

Hi,
Thanks a bunch, not sure what the problem is though. I moved that line and now that error went away.

Something really strange. And also, it works only if it is moved just after <descriminator tag, if moved somewhere else, it again gives the problem.

Thanks anyway.

The dtd defines the ordering of the elements. If you space that error out a bit you will be able to see what order they need to be in a bit easier. Thats why the version tag has to be after the discriminator tag.

The content of element type "class" must match "
(meta*,
(cache|jcs-cache)?,
(id|composite-id),
discriminator?,
(version|timestamp)?,
(property|many-to-one|one-to-one|component|dynamic-component|any|map|set|list|bag|idbag|array|primitive-array)*,
(subclass*|joined-subclass*))".
