Hibernate version:
3.2.3, Annotations 3.3.0

I'm currently trying to port my XDoclet-based Hibernate annotations to Hibernate Annotations.

I'm running into an issue with the SchemaExportTask Ant task that I use to generate my DDL.

I get the error message: "Schema text failed: An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use <mapping class="com.abc.blah.Blah"/>

Sure enough, the source of the SchemaExportTask is hard-coding the creation of the Configuration instance in its getConfiguration() method. There does not appear to be any way to override this.

Are there any plans to add support for AnnotationConfiguration to the SchemaExportTask?

Thanks,
Andrew Kerr

you need to use the task available in tools.hibernate.org

Thanks very much for your response. Are the older schema-related tasks that come with Hibernate Core considered obsolete? If so, perhaps that could be indicated in the documentation.

I guess we will wait until Tools comes out of beta to upgrade to Annotations, as we need this schema export functionality.

Thanks,
Andrew

it is not obsolete, it works fine for Hibernate Core. Max added a warning recently I think
