I have a question regarding HAR deployment on jboss.

I have classes in 'some.package' mapped by a hbm.xml file in the same dir.
I also have classes in 'someother.package' that are not mapped by any hbm.xml.

Methods in the mapped classes have references to classes that are not mapped. When deploying I get Exceptions like this:



The 'Test' class is only used by helper methods and are never used in any getter/setter that are mapped by the hbm.xml file.

Must all classes in the HAR by mapped? Or could it be anything else that I do wrong?

Thanks,

Not all classes have to be mapped but if you refer to a class from a mapping, such as a relationship, then it would need to be mapped also.

The problem here is that the second class is used by a class that is mapped but not in any relationship that is mapped. Something like this:



but when the class is scanned by the HAR-deployer it seems like the 'getOtherClass()' is picked up (even if shouldn't be) and I get the exception above even though the OtherClass is in the har-file.

Should this work or fail?

I don't know what version (Hibermate/JBoss) you are using but I don't have this problem. The deployer should scan for hbm.xml files and use them to setup the SessionFactory. If the class in question is in the har archive then it should be a non-issue.
