How to configure path to mappings to be used in hibernate.cfg.xml with maven (hbm2cfgxml)
- by user342358
Hi,
can any one tell me how to force maven to precede mapping .hbm.xml files in the automatically generated hibernate.cfg.xml file with package path?
My general idea is, I'd like to use hibernate-tools via maven to generate the persistence layer for my application. So, I need the hibernate.cfg.xml, then all my_table_names.hbm.xml and at the end the POJO's generated. Yet, the hbm2java goal won't work as I put *.hbm.xml files into the src/main/resources/package/path/ folder but hbm2cfgxml specifies the mapping files only by table name, i.e.:
<mapping resource="MyTableName.hbm.xml" />
So the big question is: how can I configure hbm2cfgxml so that hibernate.cfg.xml looks like below:
<mapping resource="package/path/MyTableName.hbm.xml" />
My pom.xml looks like this at the moment:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>hbm2cfgxml</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>hbm2cfgxml</goal>
</goals>
<inherited>false</inherited>
<configuration>
<components>
<component>
<name>hbm2cfgxml</name>
<implemetation>jdbcconfiguration</implementation>
<outputDirectory>src/main/resources/</outputDirectory>
</component>
</components>
<componentProperties>
<packagename>package.path</packageName>
<configurationFile>src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml</configurationFile>
</componentProperties>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
And then the second question: is there a way to tell maven to copy resources to the target folder before executing hbm2java? At the moment I'm using
mvn clean resources:resources generate-sources
for that, but there must be a better way.
Thanks for any help.
