I am experiencing a problem that throw this error

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: <Line 12, Column 17>: XML-0137: (Error) Attribute 'role' used but not declared.

All I am trying to achieve is a one->many relationship and I am getting this error.

I reseached the problem and found this on the forum

http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.ph ... e+declared

It appears to be the same problem I am having but I do not want to solve it this way. Is there a simple solution to this apparent problem.

I am using JDeveloper to compile and run. There does not seem to be a problem with some of the functiionality I can save a simple object but when I add in the code for a relationship it just falls over

I am a novice to this so please forgive my ignorance.

I am on one of those tight deadline things and would greatly appreciate
any help with this.

Thanks Lee

You don't want to solve it the correct way? There are many XDoclet tasks that depend on the vendor version. I use the weblogic vendor tags and the version attribute is very important there.

Are you even using XDoclet? Or are you generating the mapping files by hand?

The issue is that the hibernate DTD changed between version 1x and 2x. Specifically here, the "role" and "readonly" attributes fo the collection elements were renamed to "name" and "inverse" respectively. If you want to run hibernate2, you need to get those attribute names to the correct values...
