It looks like you are trying to use a MySQL database named 'database'.  Is that truly the name of your database ?

Did you create your database tables as InnoDB tables ?  Unless you intend to not use transactions with hibernate, you will want to use InnoDB and that changes your database type from MYSQL5 to MYSQL5_INNODB.  Your hibernate dialect also must reflect InnoDB tables.

Finally, your datasource seems unusual: the driver element looks like part of the jar file name rather than a java class name.

My examples below are using jboss 7.1.1 so the dataSource name conforms to JEE6 JNDI conventions...Wildfly may use different conventions.

Also, my example datasource file (par-ds.xml) may require changes for Wildfly.  These steps have been tested with forge 2.10.1.Final.

These are the steps I follow to generate entities for all the tables in my 'par' database:

1. Create a new project named 'par':

project-new --named par --topLevelPackage ca.gerrymatte.par --type war --finalName par ;

2. Install the jpa plug-in and specify in the persistence.xml that a datasource named parDS will be available when jboss/wildfly starts the webapp:

jpa-setup --provider Hibernate --dbType MYSQL5_INNODB --container JBOSS_AS7 --dataSourceName java:jboss/datasources/parDS;

3. I choose to create a named connection so that I can be sure the database par is accessible from forge:

connection-create-profile - --name parConnection --hibernateDialect org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect --driverClass com.mysql.jdbc.Driver --driverLocation C:/s/jclasses/drivers/mysql.jar --userName root --userPassword xxxx --jdbcUrl jdbc:mysql:///par?characterEncoding=UTF-8&characterSetResults=UTF-8&autoReconnect=true&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull --verifyConnection true;

4. Generate JPA Entities for all tables using the connection profile:

jpa-generate-entities-from-tables - --databaseTables * --connectionProfile parConnection --targetPackage ca.gerrymatte.par.model ;

My par-ds.xml file contains:

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

<datasources xmlns="http://www.jboss.org/ironjacamar/schema">

                <datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/parDS" pool-name="parDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">

                    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql:///par?characterEncoding=UTF-8&amp;characterSetResults=UTF-8&amp;autoReconnect=true&amp;zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull</connection-url>

                    <driver>mysql</driver>

                    <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>

                    <pool>

                        <min-pool-size>10</min-pool-size>

                        <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>

                        <prefill>false</prefill>

                    </pool>

                    <security>

                        <user-name>root</user-name>

                        <password>xxxx</password>

                    </security>

                    <statement>

                        <prepared-statement-cache-size>20</prepared-statement-cache-size>

                        <share-prepared-statements>true</share-prepared-statements>

                    </statement>

                </datasource>

</datasources>

Tried this with forge 2.12.2.  on windows 7, java 1.7.0_45, JBOSS_HOME set to wildfly 8.1

The connection-create-profile indicates that the profile is saved, but I do not find any files on the system corrsponfing to it.

The jpa-generate-entities-from-tables fails to provide a password, so cannot login to the database.  Adding --userPassword to this command does not help.

Following is what I tried:

project-new --named tshirts --topLevelPackage ca.bcit.infosys.tshirts --type war --finalName tshirts ;

jpa-setup --provider Hibernate --dbType MYSQL5_INNODB --container JBOSS_AS7 --dataSourceName java:jboss/datasources/tshirtsDS;

connection-create-profile - --name tshirtsConnection --hibernateDialect org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect --driverClass com.mysql.jdbc.Driver --driverLocation D:\Apps\mysql-connector-java-5.1.33\mysql-connector-java-5.1.33-bin.jar --userName TSHIRTS --userPassword TSHIRTS --jdbcUrl jdbc:mysql:///tshirts?characterEncoding=UTF-8&amp;characterSetResults=UTF-8&amp;autoReconnect=true&amp;zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull --verifyConnection true;

jpa-generate-entities-from-tables - --userPassword TSHIRTS --databaseTables * --connectionProfile tshirtsConnection --targetPackage ca.bcit.infosys.tshirts.model ;

Your commands look ok.  Some ideas to consider:

--driverLocation uses backslashes which may be incorrectly interpreted.  Try forward slashes instead.

passwords are usually case sensitive.  Are you certain your userPassword should be all uppercase ?

do not use --userPassword with the jpa-generare-entities-from-tables when using a connectionProfile

try generating the tables without using --databaseTables * and see if you are prompted for password or table names.

Although I am not a forge expert, it is my belief that the connectionProfile only exists during the session in which it is created.

I assume you are using these commands from within a DOS Window - not from within Eclipse, right ?

Since we are almost neighbours, I'll retest my commands with 2.12.Final tomorrow and let you know the result.

You do not indicate what errors you are seeing that lead you to believe the generate entities failed....

I tried with /, no difference.

The results in the command line are:

[Projects]$ project-new --named tshirts --topLevelPackage ca.bcit.infosys.tshirts --type war --finalName tshirts ;

***SUCCESS*** Project named 'tshirts' has been created.

[tshirts]$ jpa-setup --provider Hibernate --dbType MYSQL5_INNODB --container JBOSS_AS7 --dataSourceName java:jboss/datasources/tshirtsDS;

***ERROR*** Access denied for user 'TSHIRTS'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

***ERROR*** At least one database table must be specified

The password is all caps, it works from the command-line mysql client.

I did run the above from the command prompt.  It clearly indicates it is not using the password.

I attach file to create the database in mysql.

Ok.  It appears that one of the recent releases undid the fixup that was implemented in 2.9.2.Final.  I have filed JIRA 2162 - see [FORGE-2162] Two previous JIRA changes have been undone FORGE-1984 and FORGE-1990 - JBoss Issue Tracker

I repeated my commands with version 2.12.0.Final and I encountered the same errors as you did.

Below are the results of my forge session using the exact same statements that suceeded in version 2.10.0.Final.

==== Second test ==============================================================================================================

Oddly, when I tested again using the most recent production version 2.12.3.Final, I discovered that the message that a Connection profile has been saved no longer appears and the same errors occur when attempting to generate entities from tables:

Just to verify that the forge commands have broken after version 2.10.1.Final, I reverted my forge to that version and repeated my test:

Thanks,

I will watch the JIRA.

Bruce

Just a minor correction to your command. There was a dash between the command name and the --name parameter and --verifyConnection doesn't work with true next to it - the correct usage is to not specify anything and if you want to force it to be false, use --verifyConnection=false:

connection-create-profile --name parConnection --hibernateDialect org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect --driverClass com.mysql.jdbc.Driver --driverLocation C:/s/jclasses/drivers/mysql.jar --userName root --userPassword xxxxxx --jdbcUrl jdbc:mysql:///par?characterEncoding=UTF-8&characterSetResults=UTF-8&autoReconnect=true&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull --verifyConnection;

I am investigating what is causing this.

Thanks for reporting it!

Thanks George for the corrections to my commands.

The extra dash after the command name was also present with the jpa-generate-entities-from-tables command.

Bruce,

The option name for the connection profile password is --connectionProfilePassword, not --userPassword as in your example

Gerry,

to save the password, you MUST specify --saveUserPassword when creating the profile, otherwise the password will NOT be saved. It looks like this broke compatibility with older versions, but it should work.

These two changes did not correct the problem.  I re-opened the JIRA.as requested.

This works for me

1) jpa-setup --provider Hibernate --container JOSS_AS7 --dbType MYSQL --dataSourceName java:jboss/datasources/facturacionDS;

2) connection-create-profile --name coneFact --hibernateDialect org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect --driverClass com.mysql.jdbc.Driver --driverLocation D:\conectores_odbc\mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar --userName root --userPassword root --jdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/facturacion  --saveUserPassword Y;

3) jpa-generate-entities-from-tables --connectionProfile coneFact --targetPackage src.main.java --databaseTables * ;
