Hi,
Is it possible to generate the following syntax from Xdoclet (hibernate).

<set
name="executions"
lazy="false"
inverse="false"
cascade="all"
sort="unsorted"
>
<key>
<column name="ORDER_NUMBER_C" />
<column name="ORDER_VER_I"/>
<column name="MDATA_SOURCE_I"/>
<column name="MDATA_DOB_D"/>
</key>

<one-to-many
class="com.gs.odin.Execution"
/>

</set>

For the life of me I can't figure out how to get multiple column elements as children of the key element.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks
David

I try to avoid composite keys when ever I can but
Have you tried multiple @hibernate.column tags?
This is how I would expect it to work.

David,
Yes, I have tried @hibernate.column as well as @hibernate.collection-key-column in fact using these tags doesn't yield me anything, i.e. no key elements !

If, however I use @hibernate.collection-key column I only get one of the columns showing up in my key element, it seems to ignore the rest.

code :

/**
* @hibernate.set role="executions" cascade="all" readonly="true"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="ORDER_NUMBER_C"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="ORDER_VER_I"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="MDATA_SOURCE_I"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="MDATA_DOB_D"
* @hibernate.collection-one-to-many class="com.gs.odin.Execution"
*/
public Set getExecutions(){
return mExecutions;
}

generates :

<set
name="executions"
lazy="false"
inverse="false"
cascade="all"
sort="unsorted"
>

<key
column="ORDER_NUMBER_C"
>
</key>

<one-to-many
class="com.gs.odin.Execution"
/>

</set>

After spending a reasonable amount of time trying to figure out hibernate's xdoclet tags, I really don't want to go back to hand editing xml files .. it's very fustrating.

Any ideas, anyone ?

Cheers
David

Well, you may try hibernate plugin for xdoclet-2. Multiple colelction key columns are supported
there.
( If it does not work for you, file jira issue... I'll take care of it )

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/XDOCLE ... key-column

And documentation for hibernate plugin is under:
