Hibernate Configuration  •  Object Relational Impedance Mismatch

There are known limitations to Linguine Maps programmatic visualization. We continue development of Linguine Maps and are very interested in your feedback. Please help make Linguine Maps better and send your unusual diagrams and original source files to lm at softwaresecretweapons dot com.

General

• relative file names for input, output, and intermediate files are not supported

Apache Ant

• <ant> calls to targets in other files are displayed as a dependency to an empty target
• <import> is not processed

XML DTD's

• the comments inside DTD <element> are not supported
• markers that indicate whether opening and closing tags are required or optional are not supported; for example:

<!ELEMENT BR - O EMPTY -- forced line break -->

• as a result of above issues, many DTD documents found at http://www.w3c.org can't be visualized
• certain combinations of entity references are not supported

Apache ObJect Relational Bridge 1.0.0

• no known limitations for files that are successfully validated and executed by OJB runtime

Hibernate 3.0/2.0

• "many-to-many" and "one-to-many" relations require proper "class" attributes or "key" child nodes at the inverse end of the relation in order to properly infer relationships
• relationships can't be inferred in cases where classes of related entities are not declared in the mapping files, but resolved at runtime
