I used XML Spy to validate the generated hbm.xml files and found out that indeed one of my hbm.xml , namely Person.hbm.xml , file is failing validation in XML Spy .The offending part is "unique" attribute which appears twice in the following entry : <many-to-one name="contactDetails" class="za.co.introspect.portal.ContactDetails" cascade="save-update" outer-join="auto" update="true" insert="true" unique="true" column="contactdetails_id" not-null="false" unique="true" />
These hbm.xml files are being generated using the xdoclet tool.I'm using both Ant and Maven to build my application's ear files.The ear file build by Ant deploys successfully even and the Maven one fails , even though they both have the same NOT-WELL formed Person.hbm.xml. Initially I thought there's a difference in version between the dom4j jars in the ear files , but both are using the same one , dom4j-1.6.1.jar. How then is it possible that the NOT-WELL formed Person.hbm.xml passes validation in the Ant generated ear file , but fails in the Maven generated ear file?What could I be over looking here? Why is xdoclet generating the two "unique" fields ? The code looks like : /** * @return the contact details linked to the person * @hibernate.many-to-one class="za.co.introspect.portal.ContactDetails" * cascade="save-update" * column="contactdetails_id" not-null="false" unique="true" */ public ContactDetails getContactDetails() { return contactDetails; } public void setContactDetails(ContactDetails contactDetails) { this.contactDetails = contactDetails; } "Don't take the name of root in vain."
