The problem that I am encountering is that no matter what I change into the mapping files, the hbm2ddl, update=true will not generate the update statements into the indicated SQL output file, nor export them into the DB.

The ANT target:

<target name="update-tables" description="Update tables">
<tstamp>
<format property="stamp" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd_hh-mm-ss" />
</tstamp>
<hibernatetool destdir="../sql">
<classpath>
<!-- a classpath is optional, but needed for exporters that require access to domain classes etc. -->
<path refid="master-classpath" />
</classpath>

<configuration configurationfile="src/hibernate-gen.cfg.xml" />
<!-- annotated class/packages are specified in the hibernate.cfg.xml -->
<hbm2ddl update="true" outputfilename="rf-update_${stamp}.sql" />

<!-- SchemaExport based on Annotations -->
</hibernatetool>

</target>

Hibernate version: 3.1.1
Tools version: HibernateTools-3.1.0.beta4

put it in jira and i'll look at it.

well, I remember that someday I posted a new issue in JIRA about it but I don't seem to find it now. Did you have time to look at why update doesn't work, or at least why it doesn't seem to work ?

thanks

so post it again - i dont remember seeing it either.
