[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-825) hbm2java: Circular dependency between POJO source generation and Comparator class compilation

Julien Fourment commented on HBX-825:
-------------------------------------

I've downloaded latest version of the tool (3.2beta8) and still get the same error with the work-around.
Whatever happens, Collection.getComparator() is still called and throws an exception.

Anyway, I found another workaround: my POJO objects implements an interface using meta attribute, and the comparator works with this interface ... So now I can compile my comparators before the code generation.

> Hi,
> My java objects are generated from the xml files using hbm2java. One of my collection is sorted using a Comparator class. 
> hbm2java fails saying the comparator cannot be instantiated. But as the comparator makes reference to my java object, it cannot be compiled before the generation happened. We have  a circular dependency here.  (see example enclosed).
> Is there any way to fix this ? 
> Many thanks !
