Hibernate version: 2.1.6

first a short question and then the explanation.

Is it right that the ant task "schemaexport" looks for his property named config in the directory where ant is called?

Explanation:
when using the schemaexport task in ant there is an error i doen't understand completly.
When i call the target in a build-file, let's say a.xml and i call ant in the root
directory of the project anything works. btw the junit-subdir is directly under the root directory



when i call the same target from another location or another build-file (b.xml) schemaexport fails with "File Not Found". I played with several Configurations, telling ant where basedir is, telling ant not to inherit ...

The only solution was, to copy junit/hibernat.cfg.xml to that point, where i called ant. Then it worked.

Any suggestions?

got it!

it's not a problem of the schemaexport task. It's more my problem
using the property task in ant.

Do NOT use value instead use location when you want
to define a directory or file.

for example use:
