[Solved] JDOM attribute 'name' has no value when generating classes

[Jørn Topnes]

Hello,

I just stumbled into an errormessage when regenerating my ORM classes:

"Following error occured while saving the settings:
The data "" is not legal for JDOM attribute 'name': A null is not a legal XML value."

I have checked my App.config and reversemappings.config but there is no empty name attributes in them. And also all the validations prior to generating the classes were automatically set to 'Ok'. Is there any known procedure to bypass this?

Best Regards
Jørn

Hello Jørn Topnes,

 Is it possible that one of the class or field names is not set (empty string) in the Reverse mapping wizard? Is it possible to send us your reversemapping.config file so that we can ascertain the exact cause?

Best wishes,

Hi Ady,

This project has been finished now, so I do not have access to the environment in order to test things, but you may have a look at the JDOM components to see if you could prevent this happening, or use something else than JDOM.

My last generated reversemapping.config does not have the error as it was generated fine. This happens only in memory when a merge is selected. After the merge, the error appears when trying to save the changes. The save operation only displays the error above, and does not result in any changes to the file. If I choose to not merge, and simply click 'generate and save', the files are updated as they should.

Hello Jørn Topnes,
The cause of the error is that there is a missing string somewhere, if this error is thrown by something named JDOM or something else does not matter from my perspective.

We would really like to fix such problems. If you see the error the next time, can you just send us the actual reversemapping.config plus your changed database schema? That would really help us to reproduce and fix it.

Sincerely yours,
