Using both version and timestamp I get a SAXParseException

Question

When using both attributes version and timestamp in hibernate.hbm.xml file and running the program, I get an exception. If version attribute is removed, the program works fine but using both I get a runtime error.

hibernate.hbm.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

    <version name="v" column="version"/>
    <property name="productName" column="pName"  length="50"/>
    <property name="productPrice" column="pPrice" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

HibernateUtil class

public class HibernateUtil {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Configuration c = new Configuration();
    c.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
    SessionFactory factory = c.buildSessionFactory();
    Session session = factory.openSession();
    Product p = new Product();
    p.setProductId(1001);
    p.setProductName("Sony");
    p.setProductPrice(2000);
    Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
    session.save(p);
    tx.commit();
    System.out.println("Object is create Success fully...");
    session.close();
    factory.close();
}

Answer 1

As you say, you're using both version and timestamp,

In the error line you can see (version|timestamp)? meaning that the two of them are exclusive. I'm sorry to tell you that you can only use one of them at a time inside your <class>.

You can read in the Hibernate documentation:

Hibernate provides two different mechanisms for storing versioning information, a dedicated version number or a timestamp.

The two of them are used to provide a version mechanism, you only have to choose which one to use ;)
