Hi All,

I'm having silly problem with SchemaValidator (and SchemaExport originally).
It seems that if a property does not have type-attribute, then it is not accepted. However, documentation says that type is optional attribute!

So first of all, am I missing something or is validator out of date or something? Is there any sort of fix to this for validator and especially SchemaExport?

Secondly, i'm using xdoclet 2 to generate these mappings, is there a way to automatically include type-attribute as it works in xdoclet 1? This would be a nice workaround.

this works

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="example.Address" >
<id name="id" type="long" unsaved-value="0">
<generator class="native">
</generator>
</id>
<property name="postalcode" update="true" insert="true" column="postalcode" type="java.lang.String"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>


this does not

Hibernate version: 3.1.3

Ant task:

ant -debug should give you the full stacktrace and my guess is that it will say that it can't find property type on the Address class or (some other property/class).

You need to put the classes into the schemavalidator classpath.
