It seems that hbm2java is ignoring my config file. The ant task is:

<target name="hbm2java" description="Generate .java from .hbm files.">
<hbm2java output="${build.gen-src.dir}" config="${basedir}/hib-config.xml">
<fileset dir="${build.gen-src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
</fileset>
</hbm2java>
</target>

The config file it references is:

<codegen>
<meta attribute="implements">org.data.ValueObject</meta>
<generate renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer"/>
</codegen>

When I look at the code that is generated though it never has the implements with my changes:

public class Program implements Serializable {...

I know that it is reading the file because I have changed this line:
<generate renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer"/>

to

<generate renderer="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2java.BasicRenderer.Foo"/>

and it complains that it can't find my class.

Should I be doing something different to have it pickup the interface I want it to implement?

I am using Hibernate 2.1 and the hibernate-tools that came with it.

Thanks,

Hibernate version: 2.1.7

Mapping documents:none

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():none

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:none

Name and version of the database you are using:Oracle 9.2.0.1.0

The generated SQL (show_sql=true):none

Debug level Hibernate log excerpt:none

The meta element has to be in the mapping file.

So it won't pick it up from the config file while generating it? Do I need to just use regex to put it in the mapping files?

I have looked through the dtd for where to define the interface in the hibernate mapping files and can't see where to define it. Am I misinterpreting what you mean by mapping file?

actually hbm2java in H2 extensions should actually also pick it up from the config file.

So I am still confused then, does it look like I am missing something out of my config file?

hmm - i can't reproduce it ... it works here with hibernateext-2.1.

It looks like I didn't have the latest version of the hibernate-tools.jar. I downloaded it and it works as expected now. Thanks!
