Hello,

I just installed H8IDE in Eclipse 3.1RC3. I have a very simple MySQL schema I'm using to test out the reverse engineering.

I created a new console configuration and added the MySQL driver to the classpath. That works ok. I can then do a "create SessionFactory" on that console configuration.

However, when I then do a new hibernate artifact generation, nothing gets reverse engineered. It exits and puts two files in the output directory, the hibernate.cfg.xml and the GeneralHbmSettings.hbm.xml, but no mappings are generated or anything like that.

The connection parameters that are put in the cfg.xml are correct, so it should be accessing the DB. I get no errors.

Am I doing something wrong, or can someone help me out?

Thanks

for some reason the mysql driver is not reporting any tables.

do you have the proper rights ?

Yes, I'm connecting to the DB as root so I should have all permissions.

Is there anything I can do to help provide more information, like logging what is happening?

use it through ant, configure log4j (by adding a log4j.properties or log4j.xml) to the classpath of the hibernatetool and check the log for JDBCBinder stuff

Thanks, this helped. It shows that my tables did not have primary keys (I was using a sample schema with just 3 tables) so it did not generate the classes for those tables.

It generated the classes and mappings. I don't agree with some of the mappings, but I guess that's why you can override the reverse engineering strategy!

Thanks

if you are using the latest tools it will generate a composite key with all your columns

I was using the latest released version 3a4 and it didn't auto-create a key like that.

hmm....it should ,)
