[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HBX-732) SchemaExport fails when using annotated classes

SchemaExport fails when using annotated classes ----------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-732 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-732 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Bug

Components: reverse-engineer Versions: 3.1beta3 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3, Hibernate Annotations 3.2.0, hsqldb Reporter: Jared Warren

When you try to run SchemaExport from the command line with a single file defined in a <mapping class"..."> element, it fails with the following exception: org.hibernate.MappingException: An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use <mapping class="com.drinkupstream.heroes.Hero"/> at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.parseMappingElement(Configuration.java:1478) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.parseSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1433) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:1414) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.doConfigure(Configuration.java:1390) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1310) at org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport.main(SchemaExport.java:359) Changing line 313 (the first real line in the main) from: Configuration cfg = new Configuration(); to: Configuration cfg = new AnnotationConfiguration(); fixes the problem. But I don't know if that introduces other bugs......it's just a hack on my end. Another possibility would be to wait until after the args are parsed to instantiate a Configuration and provide an arg that will dictate with Configuration to instantiate.
