cfg2hbm produces invalid documents w/ inheritance ------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-420 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-420 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Improvement

Components: reverse-engineer Versions: 3.2LATER Environment: Eclipse 3.1, co build of HibernateExt from oct 1, 2005. Reporter: Dennis C. Byrne Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2beta8 Attachments: BuyNow.hbm.xml Use cases w/ subclass do not work with hbm2CfgXml and cfg2hbm . Example, the CE model ; using ant, I want to generate a working domain model from the mapping files. The end results should be: 1.)hibernate.cfg.xml 2.) *.hbm.xml The configuration element is used w/ nested fileset element. The nested fileset element uses an include to scoop up all *.hbm.xml files. There are two ways to satisfy the last requirement. Use a <cfg2hbm> or <copy>. The first of these options will take Bid.hbm.xml, and produce two files, Bid.hbm.xml and BidNow.hbm.xml . BidNow.hbm.xml will not be valid against the DTD because there is a table attribute in a subclass element. No big deal, why do we need to generate documents we already have? So use <copy>, it's not as though we are using the annotationconfiguration element. Using copy however means that you will have to manually edit hibernate.cfg.xml, because it will be generated w/ a mapping element for both Bid.hbm.xml and BidNow.hbm.xml . An invalid table attribute should not be produced for generated subclass elements.
