Using Hibernate 3+ with Spring 2.6+

The http://stackoverflow.com/questions/672063/creating-a-custom-hibernate-usertype-find-out-the-current-entity-table-name describes reseting the UserType parameters through the Configuration object. Works fine in special cases when passing a string to a parameter. Want to wire in a spring bean without using the load time weaver/Configuration within Spring. Can override (extend) the LocalSessionFactoryBean and access the Configuration object prior to the SessionFactory beings created by String (ie postProcessConfiguration method).

Need to jump to an earlier spot within the Hibernate build up when my UserType is actually defined to the class mappings. Thought is that I can access the UserType construction early.
