I've tried to generate Hibernate mapping from a pojo class, and everything runs without a problem, but the hbm.xml is not generated.
Here is my Pojo class: package com.sicflex.data; import com.sicflex.hbm.util.HbmBase; import java.util.Set; /** * This class provides the means to create the menu template for the system.<br> * Each menu options will have a unique menu identification, * that could be referenced later by the user profile. * Options to be complete must have a valid url. * @author Sicflex * @since version 1.0 * @hibernate.class * tables="menu" * dynamic-update="true" */ public class Menu extends HbmBase { private String menuId; private String displayNameKey; private String menuType; private String url; /** * @return object of type String; which is a unique identifier for the menu * option. * @hibernate.id * generator-class="native" */ public String getMenuId() { return menuId; } /** * @param menuId of type String, set a unique identifier for any menu option. * once set it can not be changed. */ public void setMenuId(String menuId) { this.menuId = menuId; } /** * @param displayNameKey of type String, refers to the resources key to be used * for display purposes. This property exists in almost every class that its * name could be shown to users. Using this property guarantees reliable localization * behavior. */ public void setDisplayNameKey(String displayNameKey) { this.displayNameKey = displayNameKey; } /** * @return object of type String, referring to the resource key used by the object. * @hibernate.property * not-null="true" */ public String getDisplayNameKey() { return displayNameKey; } /** * @param menuType should be one of constant MenuType. */ public void setMenuType(String menuType) { this.menuType = menuType; } /** * @return String object containing a MenuType constant. */ public String getMenuType() { return menuType; } /** * @param url points to the link to redirect to. */ public void setUrl(String url) { this.url = url; } /** * @return a Url string. */ public String getUrl() { return url; } } And a portion of Ant's build file <!-- XDOCLET --> <!-- Properties --> <property name="xdoclet.home" value="c:/xdoclet-1.2.2"/> <property name="hibernate.generated.home" value="c:/WebSicflex/ViewController/src/com/sicflex/hbm/util"/> <property name="data.home" value="c:/WebSicflex/ViewController/src/com/sicflex/data"/> <!-- Library --> <path id="library.XDocLet.Library"> <fileset dir="${xdoclet.home}/lib"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> </fileset> </path> <!--- Task definition --> <taskdef name="hibernatexdoclet" classname="xdoclet.modules.hibernate.HibernateDocletTask"> <classpath refid="library.XDocLet.Library"/> </taskdef> <!--- Target definition --> <target name="generate.hibernate" depends="compile" description="Generate HBM files" > <echo>Running Hibernate XDocLet </echo> <echo message="Destination= ${hibernate.generated.home}"/> <echo message="DataDir= ${data.home}"/> <hibernatexdoclet destdir="${hibernate.generated.home}" excludedtags="@version,@author,@todo,@see" addedtags="@xdoclet-generated at ${TODAY},@copyright Sicflex,@version ${version}" force="true" verbose="false" > <fileset dir="${data.home}"> <include name="**/*.java" /> </fileset> <hibernate version="2.1"/> </hibernatexdoclet> <!-- Upgrade grammar from Hibernate1 to Hibernate2 --> <replace dir="${hibernate.generated.home}"> <include name="**/hibernate/*.hbm.xml"/> <replacefilter token="readonly=" value="inverse="/> <replacefilter token="role=" value="name="/> <replacefilter token="hibernate-mapping.dtd" value="hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd"/> </replace> </target> And finally the results of running generate.hibernate task Buildfile: C:\WebSicflex\ViewController\build.xml init: compile: generate.hibernate: [echo] Running Hibernate XDocLet [echo] Destination= c:/WebSicflex/ViewController/src/com/sicflex/hbm/util [echo] DataDir= c:/WebSicflex/ViewController/src/com/sicflex/data [hibernatexdoclet] (XDocletMain.start 47 ) Running <hibernate/> BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 2 seconds
