Enhance Hibernate-Mapping DTD Definition of type element -------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1470 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1470 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement

Environment: Hibernate 3.1.x Reporter: Michael Plöd Priority: Trivial

As discussed with Steve in http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=955303 Could you please update the DTD Definition of "Element" as follows: <!ELEMENT element (column|formula|type)*> <!ATTLIST element column CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element node CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element formula CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element type CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element length CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element precision CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element scale CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ATTLIST element not-null (true|false) "false"> <!ATTLIST element unique (true|false) "false"> Actually type should be enabled as a child element of Element allowing users to add a parameter to a parameterized UserType inside an Element definition. Right now users will have to create a typedef with the parameter and place the name of the typedef in the attribute type. In addition to that the attribute definition of type must be set to IMPLIED. This would enalbe a mapping like that: <set name="ples" table="MY_PLES_TABLE"> <key column="myClassId"/> <element> <type name="my.comp.common.hibernate.PleType"> <param name="type">my.comp.domain.PleElement</param> </type> </element> </set>
