I'm having trouble with this tool and cannot find the documentation. I've looked at the faq and it only seems to dicuss hiberante. I've googled for schemaexport documenation with no luck either.

Where does it look for the hibernate.cfg.xml file? As a result of me changing eclipse's build path from puregamesinc to puregamesinc/src, the ant task can no longer find the hiberante.cfg.xml file.

Before I changed the build path, it (schemaexport) could not find the Person.hbm.xml file. Person.hbm.xml was definitly where I said it was in the hiberante.cfg.xml mapping statement. I can generate the Person.hbm.xml with the hibernatedoclet. I checked the permissions and did a chmod 777 Person.hbm.xml and this did not help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Siegfried

I found some sample source code that works in one directory but not another. The error is described above.

<target name="schemaexport" depends="dist">
<java classname="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport" classpathref="classpath.run">
<arg line="--config=hibernate.cfg.xml --output=${name}.sql"/>
</java>
</target>

I got this out of some book -- I cannot remember the name.

I was polking around in AppFuse and found this example. It worked to for that project. I'm having trouble setting up the class path for it my new project.

<target name="schemaexport" depends="dist">
<taskdef name="schemaexport"
classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask">
<classpath>
<path refid="classpath.run"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>

<schemaexport quiet="no" text="no" drop="no" delimiter=";"
properties="database.properties" output="create-tables.sql">
<fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
</schemaexport>

</target>


What is the difference between these two? Are these two different tools? I have hibernate in my class path for the second one, but it does not work.


When I look at the source code I see these comments:
**
* An Ant task for <tt>SchemaExport</tt>.
*
* <pre>
* &lt;taskdef name="schemaexport"
* classname="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask"

* &lt;/fileset&gt;
* &lt;/schemaexport&gt;
* </pre>

Hmmmmm.... When I use the command line, there is no oppertunity to specify the input file set. Could this be my problem? Do I need to specify the file set using this ant task from the comments?
