I am attempting to generate a schema with the method below.

During testing, the "annotationConfiguration" parameter contains 3 annotated classes (within the annotatedClasses ArrayList of the AnnotationConfiguration object).

After instantiating a new SchemaExport, each of these annotated classes is set to null; and the create method neiither prints output to the console, nor creates the schema in the file indicated by the "fileName" parameter.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Charlie Kelly

use hibernate tools to generate from annotations - that works at least ;)

Which Hibernate tool(s)?

Isn't SchemaExport a Hibernate tool?

Thanks

sure - but just saying that if your task is simply to export annotations to the database/.sql then use the Hibernate Tools (tools.hibernate.org) which has ant tasks for it.

With respect to running it directly i cannot reproduce your problem since it works fine here ;)
