HBM files directory and dynamic HBMs

Hello:
-->In Hibernate, when we create mapping files (*.HBM.XML), normally they must bo localized in directorie where are their respectives classes (like bin/package1/package2/). How can I change this? Or how do I say that mapping files are in a other directory (like conf/hibernate/)?

-->In my Project I have this mapping file:

Code:

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="package1.package2.Bean" table="tb_beanXXX" >
<!-- ... -->
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Well, after read my mapping file I want change "table" attribute from "class" to substitute "XXX" substring for another String. It will be a dynamic mapping. Does someone have any idea?

Thanks,

As long as conf/hibernate is in your CP, you can do

Code:

configuration.addFile("/not/my/package/notMyClassName.hbm.xml);

In 2.1 you can also do

Code:

configuration.addDirectory(File dir);

Load the files by yourself putting it in a DOM, do your expansion and give it to Hibernate

Code:

configuration.addDocument(myExpandedDOM);
