POM: Maven 1.0.2, Spring 1.2.1, and Hibernate 3.0.3 +XDoclet

javapda · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2005 4:37 pm

Migrating from Spring 1.1.5, Hibernate 2.1.8, and XDoclet to Spring 1.2.1, Hibernate 3.0.3 and XDoclet.

Out configuration files (*.hbm.xml, spring.xml) are generated using XDoclet plugins under Maven.

Q: Does anyone have a functioning Maven POM (project.xml and associated project.properties) which is using similar versions?

Specifically I am experiencing a conflict between xdoclet-hibernate-module-1.2.3 and xdoclet-spring-module-1.2.3. With the hibernate plugin alone the hibernate mapping files are successfully generated. When 1.2.3 of spring module added, then no hibernate mappings are generated. Interestingly, if the hibernate-module 1.2.3 is used with the xdoclet-spring-module-1.2.1 then both generate output, however, the spring output is pre-1.2.1

Thanks

You may have noticed the odd 1.2.1-WITH_ABSTRACT_DTD dependency. This is because the DTD that shipped with the 1.2.1 xdoclet did not support the abstract attribute. If you do not require abstract spring proxies, you can probably just use the standard dtd.

Regards,

John

Maybe this should be added to the wiki under the Xdoclet page so other might be able to reference it. Just a thought.

David,

A good idea, unfortunately if you go to Xdoclet Wiki you'll see the following message:

Due to excessive spamming, the wiki is currently offline.

hibernate wiki, not the xdoclet one

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Well.. actually my experience is that there are a lot of tweaks to do to get hibernate with maven and xdoclet. I'm using Maven 1.0.2 and Hibernate 3.0.5.

maven-hibernate-plugin last version is 1.3. This doesnot have support for 3.0. There is a diff file in their JIRA (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPHIBERNATE-14) which can be applied and maven-hibernate-plugin. The patch supports 2.0 as well as 3.0 based on the package name it finds in the classpath. Somehow, this has not been released. Alteast, there is no info in the issue tracker whether this has been added to their present code base. If this patch is not used, maven tries to get net.sf.hibernate classes during schema-export..

Now, to the xdoclet. Again, xdoclet 1.2.3 does generate 3.0 mapping files, but there are some issues. One is with the unique. If you have unique attribute set for any of the properties, it generates the attribute twice. I'm not sure if this is fixed yet, but this was the problem when I got the xdoclet 1.2.3 i think about a week back. The solution for this is to use xdoclet 1.2.2 and xdoclet-hibernate-plugin from (http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... e/XDT-1257). Note that this maynot support ALL the attributes of 3.0 but it works for me.

I have tested with these changes with maven. I think it should work ok with ant too. Also to generate the 3.0 mappings from hibernate, the following has to be set in maven.
maven.xdoclet.hibernatedoclet.hibernate.0.Version=3.0

There is a small price to pay for working with the cutting edge versions :)
I can update the wiki by tomorrow if you think its useful (it maynot be useful for long because I think these problems will be fixed by the xdoclet and maven-hibernate-plugin teams fast)

Also, others who have used Maven + Hibernate 3.0.5 + Xdoclet, please let me know if things can be done better.. (well because diff and path were never my forte.. )

Thanks for the feedback.

The POM Dependencies, listed above, seems to get the job done for me.

That is with using Xdoclet, Hibernate 3.0.5 and Spring 1.2.1 under Maven 1.0.2.
