What I am trying to accomplish is generate the supporting files for a POJO that has a findAll method.

*.hbm.xml file:
<hibernate-mapping package="com.hibernate.test">
<class name="Honey" table="honey">

<meta attribute="session-method">
HibernateUtil.getSession();
</meta>
<id name="id" column="honeyId" type="java.lang.Integer">
<!-- postgre:
<generate class="sequence">
<param name="sequence">honey_id_seq</param>
</generate>
-->
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="name" column="honeyName" type="java.lang.String" />
<property name="taste" column="taste" type="java.lang.String" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>


I have attempted to follow the examples on how to go about this, but I have not been successful.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

dont use the old hibernate 2 tools with hibernate 3 tools.

read tools.hibernate.org.

p.s. The finder generation has not been maintained - the closest thing is the DAO generation.

Max:

Thank you very much for responding. I re-read the tools.hibernate.org page. I don't think I have Hibernate and Hibernate Tools configured properly with Eclipse 3.2. I base this assumption on the fact I do not see the Code Generation Dialog box when I try to run the application.

Can you point in the right direction on how to ensure I have eclipse configured with the plugins correctly?

Russ

What do you mean: "I do not see the Code Generation Dialog box when I try to run the application" ?

If you press Ctrl+N there should be a Hibernate Console Configuration wizard that you should run to create a Console Configuration that points to your hibernate.cfg.xml *or* the mapping files you want to do something with.

When the console configuration you can run the Code generator via the small hibernate icon or under the Run/Hibernate Code Generation... menu

btw. eclipse 3.2 should work with the tools, but 3.1 is the supported one.

p.s. you don't need to use the eclipse plugins if you just want to use ant (again, read the documentation of our tools)

Max:

Thank you for you reply. I've located the menu option under the "Run" pull down menu option. This seem to answer all my concerns, but one. The tool can not find the hbm.xml file. I have the file located under the src directory. Is it supposed to be somewhere else?

Sorry, I should have included the reference in the config file:


<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="honey.hbm.xml"/>


The config and hbm files are in the same directory

Russ

so it works now for you ?

Max:

Yes, I am able to use the tool, but I am NOT able to generate any files. The reason is the tool can not find the hbm.xml file.


org.hibernate.MappingException: Resource: com/hibernate/test/honey.hbm.xml not found
org.hibernate.MappingException: Resource: com/hibernate/test/honey.hbm.xml not found


I've put the honey.bhm.xl file in the same directory as i would expect the source code to be generated in--com.hibernate.test.

This is what I have in the hibernate.cfg.xml file.


<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="com/hibernate/test/honey.hbm.xml"/>


What am I doing wrong that prevents the tool from generating the files?

Russ

you need to put the build path in the classpath of the console configuration

okay I think the tool is working okay.......
