Hi Jack,

It looks like the SchemaTool can't find your persistence.xml file. The tool
will look for persistence.xml in the META-INF directory on your classpath,
could you post the classpath that you're using?

You can also provide the persistence.xml file as a properties file, ie :
java org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.schema.SchemaTool -p ${pathToPersistence.xml}
${otherArgs}.

Hope this Helps,

Michael Dick

Thanks for your reply Marc.  With your suggestion, I can now generate a
schema XML file without any DB connection.  But when I try to use the
SchemaTool to generate a SQL file, I am getting this error message again:

INFO: OpenJPA will now connect to the database to attempt to determine
what
type of database dictionary to use.  To prevent this connection in the
future, set your openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary configuration property to the
appropriate value for your database (see the documentation for available
values).

Please notice that I do have a Derby Embedded Database ready on my file
system and OpenJPA can connect anytime it needs to, and here is a fragment
of my META-INF/persistence.xml file that describes the datasource setting:
            <property name="openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary" value=
"org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.sql.DerbyDictionary"/>
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionUserName" value="user"/>
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionPassword" value="secret"/>
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" value=
"org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"/>
            <property name="openjpa.ConnectionURL" value=
"jdbc:derby:d:/abc/hellojpa-database"/>

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Jack

Unfortunately, you do need to be able to connect to a database in
order to generate a SQL DDL. I think it would be a pretty minor
project to remove this restriction, but as of right now, it exists.

Note that you can generate a database-independent schema XML file
without connecting to any database, e.g. with:

java org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.meta.MappingTool -action buildSchema -
schemaAction none -DBDictionary oracle -schemaFile schema.xml
com.company.MyEntity

With that file, you can later use the SchemaTool to build the schema.
