IntelliJ IDEA with hibernate support

Question

I have IntelliJ IDEA 8.1.3.

It has support for a hibernate facet/plugin which I have enabled. When I do this it recognises the HQL query strings but highlights in red all the objects and properties. I can't see how to get IDEA to be aware of my entities.

I use spring+hibernate and annotated objects. I have no hibernate.cfg.xml just a spring bean using AnnotationSessionFactoryBean .

Does anyone know how I can get this to work? Does the standard IntelliJ support this?

Answer 1

You simply need to configure the datasource for your application. Usually to get this done you can directly access the auto-correction menu ( alt + enter ) and it will ask you to associate a datasource to your hibernate facet.

Answer 2

I do the same in that I use a number of datasources, however, IntelliJ just wants to be able to locate the table names and columns so that it can autocomplete and lookup correctly.

I presume that the table and column names are the same between data sources. If they are, then all I do is use the SQL create scripts (which I exported from one of he databases) to create DDL datasource inside the Datasources menu.
