XDoclet and relations

[johnprince]

Hi,

I've seen a few messages on problems with XDoclet and CMP relations, and I've tried playing around with different versions/dtds, but to no avail.

The problem is that xdoclet1.1.2 is ignoring @jboss:relation-table and @jboss:relation-mapping tags, but I can't get either the version with JBoss or the latest version from CVS to run (both exit with 'can't find xdoclet.XDocletMain' error messages).

Anyone else come across/solved this problem?

I am using XDoclet from CVS and it works without any problems. You need to download xjavadoc also. I built xdoclet from the path xdoclet/core/script

The latest CVS? I had already downloaded and added xjavadoc, and built both using the build files. I finally got it working, but it made a mess of the relations - it took the role-name as the target-role-name as well, so I get errors when deploying. Are you using relations in your beans?

Thanks,

John

John,

I'm using XDoclet 1.1.2 without problems for relations. Take a look at the template files, it always uses FK mappings for 1-N relations. The @jboss:relation-table works for M-N relations. Hopefully a future version of XDoclet will allow relation tables for something other than M-N relations.

Thanks for explaining that - now that I understand that it is intended behavior, I have hacked the template file to do an additional conditional check, so it will generate a relation table tag if @jboss:relation-table table-name="xxx" is present, and it works fine! Saves me doing copy and pastes every time I build.
