Hello there guys,

Here goes the issue:

Code:

/**  * @hibernate.class table = "table_A"  * @hibernate.discriminator column = "disc_column" length = "10" */ interface A {  /* some method */ } /**  * @hibernate.subclass discriminator-value = "classB" */ class B implements A{ /* some methods */ }

The mapping generated does not includes the subclass definition although it does contains the discrimitar column.

here goes the mapping:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 2.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="model.User" table="User" dynamic-update="false"
dynamic-insert="false" select-before-update="false">

<id name="id" column="id" type="int" unsaved-value="-1">
<generator class="native">
<!--

hibernate-generator-params-User.xml

-->
</generator>
</id>

<discriminator column="usertype" length="10" />

<property name="myFirstName" type="java.lang.String"
update="true" insert="true" access="property" column="firstname"
length="30" />

<property name="myIsActive" type="boolean" update="true"

<property name="myUsername" type="java.lang.String"

I don't believe the discriminator value is actually supposed to be the classname, according to what I read in the hibernate documentation. There's a really nice tutorial that seems to cover this issue at the IBM website here:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-hibern/

I don't believe this is the problem. I have tested with different values for the discriminator and regardless of it xdoclet does not generate the proper tags in the hbm.xml file.
I recall having read about a bug in xdoclet regarding this. The question would be if you guys have a fix for it.

Thanks.

For XDoclet fixes, we typically wait for the XDoclet team to release them and then integrate the new version into each service release of MyEclipse. So, we don't have a specific fix for this one. However, if the XDoclet team has released a fix, you can
update the modules used by MyEclipse yourself by following the instructions in the MyEclipse User Guide, available here:
http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/topic/com.genuitec.myeclipse.doc/html/gettingstarted/xdoclet-overview/core/refresh.html

I had this same problem, but it was because I was spelling descriminator wrong. Once I changed it to be discriminator-value="VALUE", the mapping was generated correctly. I'm using XDoclet 1.2.2.

Matt,

Thanks for pointing this out. It's a tricky error to diagnose.

By the way, "Happy Joining-MyEclipse Anniversary". ;-)
