I have an unidirectional parent->child relationship where Project (parent) holds a reference to an array of Crafts (child, Craft[]). I would like to have xdoclet 1.2 generate the mapping for me. But if I annotate Project.java with

/**
* @hibernate.array
* cascade="all-delete-orphan"
* @hibernate.collection-index
* column="craft_position"
* @hibernate.collection-key
* column="project_id"
* @hibernate.collection-one-to-many
* class="manplan.j2ee.model.Craft"
*/
public Craft[] getCrafts()

it will give me

<array
name="crafts"
inverse="false"
cascade="all-delete-orphan"
>
<key
column="project_id"
/>
<index
column="craft_position"
/>
<one-to-many
class="manplan.j2ee.model.Craft"
/>
</array>

which is wrong since the <array> tag does not accept the "inverse" attribute. Hibernate will consequently fail upon reading this mapping. Is there a way of getting around this problem?

Thanks,
Olaf

Create a entry in the XDoclet JIRA system - this allow someone to fix the problem. You could also look at the xdt files and change the definition to not include the inverse attribute for arrays. It should not be difficult or involved at all. If you do then include the patch with your JIRA entry.

I found out that it's a known bug and already registered with JIRA. Patched the xdt file and rebuilt xdoclet. Works like a charm.
