Hello,

I’ve been getting some strange problems with hibernate, the message:
12:24:55 ERROR Error.
org.hibernate.MappingException: Bad identifier type: class

shows that.

I have, Hibernate 3 jars, and .hbm.xml files installed, but MyEclipse shows hibernate 2.1 when I bring up the Hibernate configuration. (My DTDs are also referencing hibernate 3 and I have the hibernate3.jar in my project.)

How do I make sure that everything is Hibernate 3?

As long as you are sure everything is Hibernate 3, open up your navigator view and open the .myhibernatedata file, then change the “version” to 3.0, like this:
version=3.0

Riyad,

Now that you tell me how to fix the problem I can see that the project doesn’t have a .myhibernatedata file.

I will copy the file from a different project and edit it.

Thanks
Rob

Rob,
You need to add Hibernate Capabilities to the project. Simply copying that isn’t enough (I don’t think). You also need a hibernate builder and hibernate nature. If you want to do this all manually, you need to add the following build command to your .project file:

<buildCommand>
  <name>com.genuitec.eclipse.hibernate.HibernateBuilder</name>
    <arguments>
    </arguments>
</buildCommand>

and a new nature:

<nature>com.genuitec.eclipse.hibernate.hibernatenature</nature>

Riyad,

I got the changes in, the project already had the hibernate nature and build Command in it,
The only thing missing was the .myhibernatedata file. Very strange.

I thought about adding the hibernate nature to the project, but since it was in the .project file it was already there.

Thanks

Rob

Weird, sounds like the project canabalised itself. Are things working now?

[Rob Rutherford]

Its good now.

Thanks
