Hello,

I was looking for a way to have support for cascades through Hibernate Tools' reverse engineering and saw this JIRA thread "Add ability in reverse engineering config file to support cascades":

http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... se/HBX-623

which fits my need and indicates "Fix Version/s: 3.2.4.GA"... fine.

But I just got Hibernate Tools 3.2.4.GA from http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/ ... /3.2.4.GA/, and this patch's content is not included... neither in the 3.2.5.Beta I just got from the SVN repository.

So, where did this patch go?

http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... sion/10875 claims yet that HBX-623 is included in 3.2.4.GA.

Any information on this subject would be really appreciated... thank you.

I dont know what that hibernate tools jar is on the maven repo - we don't push the releases there (currently).

It is definitely included in the hibernate tools we release from hibernate.org and jboss.org/tools.

What is not working for you ?

Hello Max,

If I look at HBX-623, the diff file shows that hibernate-reverse-engineering-3.0.dtd has been modified in the following way:

@@ -97,8 +97,12 @@
<!ELEMENT many-to-one EMPTY >
<!ATTLIST many-to-one property CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST many-to-one exclude (true|false) #IMPLIED>
+<!ATTLIST many-to-one cascade (persist|merge|delete|save-update|evict|replicate|lock|refresh|delete-orphan|all) #IMPLIED>
+<!ATTLIST many-to-one fetch (select|join) #IMPLIED>
+<!ATTLIST many-to-one insert (true|false) #IMPLIED>
+<!ATTLIST many-to-one update (true|false) #IMPLIED>
+<!ATTLIST many-to-one lazy (true|false) #IMPLIED>


I then got both HibernateTools-3.2.4.GA-R200905070146-H18 from hibernate.org and HibernateTools-3.3.0.v200910281724M-H247-M4 from jboss.org/tools.

In each of them I opened \plugins\org.hibernate.eclipse_<version>\lib\tools\hibernate-tools.jar
and looked at this very element in the DTD:

<!ELEMENT many-to-one EMPTY >
<!ATTLIST many-to-one property CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST many-to-one exclude (true|false) #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST many-to-one cascade CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST many-to-one fetch (join|select) #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST many-to-one update (true|false) "true">
<!ATTLIST many-to-one insert (true|false) "true">

So the 'lazy' attribute is missing, and 'cascade' values are not defined.
Using the 'cascade' property like in the following does not generate any @Cascade tag on the resulting Java classes.

<table schema="a" name="t1">
<foreign-key constraint-name="fk1" foreign-table="t2">
<column-ref local-column="ID_t1" foreign-column="ID_t2" />
<many-to-one cascade="all" />
</foreign-key>
</table>

Same applies to JDBCBinder class for example, for which changes described in HBX-623 are missing in the released jar.

If HBX-623 is included in these releases, I just don't get what is going on...

hmm, not sure what happend. looks like the .jar in hibernate tools for eclipse is not correct. Ill look into it.

So, did you have time to look into it?

I can see Hibernate Tools had no new release for about a year, how can I get this patch though?

We released about 8 times last year as part of JBoss tools. You can get it from there.

Hi
Please see related post, the DTD is still not up to date and I am still not able to reverse engineer with the cascade attribute.
