Better error logging in IdentifierGeneratorFactory (Antony Stubbs) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-2849 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2849 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Patch Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1, 3.3 Reporter: Antony Stubbs Assignee: Steve Ebersole Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2.6, 3.3 Attachments: IdentifierGeneratorFactory.java.patch, IdentifierGeneratorFactory.java.patch Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour When specifying an incorrect id generator class in the hibernate mapping file, the following error messages are produced for the exception: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception building SessionFactory: could not instantiate id generator Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: could not instantiate id generator Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: could not interpret id generator strategy: com.x.persistence.sdfhibernate.SomeIdentityGenerator This doesn't show which mapping it's talking about. The patch I submitted slightly improves the message by adding the entity name: Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: could not instantiate id generator for entity com.x.persistence.hibernate.EntityClass admitedly I haven't tested it yet, because I am unable to get maven to build hibernate. but i'm working on that now (unable to download org.codehaus.mojo:antlr-maven-plugin:pom:2.0-SNAPSHOT)
