Workaround for Issue with @Any Mapping in Hibernate Tools Plugin

There is a slight problem with 3.2.3.GA release of Hibernate Tools when specifically dealing with the @Any (or the <any> element if you are using xml to configure hibernate) type of relationship. The problem manifests itself with an exception that contains the message "org.hibernate.MappingException: property mapping has wrong number of columns" when you try to open the session factory in Eclipse.

I've found a work-around to this problem by updating some of the hibernate jars in the base plugin for Hibernate tools in eclipse.

(In the instructions below, replace <eclipse-home> with the location that you've installed Eclipse. Also, the direction of the slashes may be different for you depending on what platform you are on.)


  1. First, stop Eclipse.

  2. Next grab the hibernate-3.2.6.ga.jar and put it at <eclipse-home>\plugins\org.hibernate.eclipse_3.2.3.GA\lib\hibernate\hibernate3.jar

  3. Grab hibernate-annotations-3.3.1.GA.jar and put at <eclipse-home>\plugins\org.hibernate.eclipse_3.2.3.GA\lib\annotations\hibernate-annotations.jar

  4. Grab hibernate-commons-annotations-3.3.0.ga.jar and put at <eclipse-home>\plugins\org.hibernate.eclipse_3.2.3.GA\lib\annotations\hibernate-commons-annotations.jar

  5. Restart eclipse and try to use your project with the @Any mapping again.

Ghetto Cloud Foundry Home Lab

Image
Over the past few months, I've been cobbling together my own Lab to be able to gain experience with Cloud Foundry.  Sure, I could have gone the much simpler route of bosh-lite , but I wanted to get a broader set of experience with the underlying IaaS layer in conjunction with working with Cloud Foundry. My lab hardware was purchased from various places (eBay, Fry's, etc) when I could get deals on it. Rocking the Ghetto Lab At a high level, the hardware looks like this: Machine CPU Memory Storage Notes HP Proliant ML350 G5 2x Intel Xeon CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz 32 GB (Came with some disks, but mostly unused) vSphere Host 1, Added a 4 port Intel 82571EB Network Adapter HP Proliant ML350 G5 2x Intel Xeon CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz 32 GB (Came with some disks, but mostly unused) vSphere Host 2, Added a 4 port Intel 82571EB Network Adapter Whitebox FreeNAS server Intel Celeron CPU G1610 @ 2.60GHz 16 GB 3x 240GB MLC SSDs, in a ZFS stripe set, plus spinning d

Using Snapshot Isolation with SQL Server and Hibernate

In the course of working on some deadlock issues, I found that MS SQL Server exhibits some unexpected (to me, at least) locking behaviors that can affect performance and cause deadlocks. In the end, I found that SQL Server provides an isolation level called Snapshot isolation which removes the need for locks on rows and removes lock contention. To use this isolation level, you need to execute the following SQL on the database that you want to use the isolation level with (replacing MyDatabase with your database name, of course): ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON Next, you need to modify your hibernate.cfg.xml file to add a property to tell Hibernate to use the Snapshot Isolation level: <!-- The 4096 isolation level is the setting to use with the jTDS or Microsoft JDBC drivers --> < property name =”hibernate.connection.isolation”>4096</property> Snapshot isolation is not a panacea

Fedora, Ant, and Optional Tasks

I've tried to be good. I've tried a number of times to use the version of ant that Fedora packages up into an RPM from the JPackage repos rather than caving to the temptation to install it myself manually. I also like to use optional tasks like ReplaceRegExp in my scripts to do all sorts of cool things. Of course, I see most of the installation instructions that refer to ant via RPM mention that I need to yum install ant-apache-regexp to get my optional task jars installed for this very nice task. Every time I've tried this, ant yells at me saying that it can't find the taskdef class for ReplaceRegExp. Huh? But I installed the proper, RPMs...didn't I? Usually at this point, I fall back to what works and just install ant by hand. However, I've finally realized why I've had so much trouble with this. There is one additional RPM that should be installed to get the classes that define all the optional tasks for ant called ant-nodeps. Before getting int
